Hadley Rille is a channel-like feature on the Moon at the edge of the Apennine Mountains.  
Although it looks like a dry river bed, it's actually a collapsed lava tube.  The valley where Apollo 15
landed, near Hadley Delta, is one of the most scenic places on the Moon.  The Rille is over 300
meters deep and almost two kilometers wide.
