About this work
This image of central Candor Chasma shows a surface topography called chaos. Chaos is a region of small to medium sized mesas surrounded by valleys that are usually the same elevation. In this image sand and sand dunes have accumulated in the valleys near the top of the image, but are not as prevalent towards the bottom of the image. Candor Chasma is one of the largest canyons that make up Valles Marineris.
