Network of river channels on Titan

**Elivagar Flumina** is a network of [river](/source/River) channels, known as*[flumina](/source/Flumen_(planetary_geology))*, located in the region around the [Menrva Crater](/source/Menrva_(crater)) of [Titan](/source/Titan_(moon)). These channels range in length from 23 km to 210 km and are at least 120 km wide, showing signs of erosion.[1][2] At their mouth, an [alluvial fan](/source/Alluvial_fan) is present.[3] The Elivagar Flumina is interpreted as alluvial due to its proximity to fluvial valleys and radar backscattering.[4] Geomorphic mapping of the Menrva region on Titan has provided evidence of exogenic processes such as hydrocarbon fluid channelization, or flash floods, which are believed to have formed the Flumina network.[2][5]

The Elivagar Flumina is named after the [Élivágar](/source/%C3%89liv%C3%A1gar), a group of poisonous ice rivers in [Norse mythology](/source/Norse_mythology).[6]
