About this work

Today's VIS image shows part of the large hill near the eastern edge of Candor Chasma. Layering is visible toward the bottom of the image. The sides of the hill are deeply incised by erosion, probably including both wind and water processes. Candor Chasma is one of the largest canyons that make up Valles Marineris. It is approximately 810 km long (503 miles) and has is divided into two regions - eastern and western Candor. Candor is located south of Ophir Chasma and north of Melas Chasma.
