Mars: A Mist In Mariner Valley

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

An icy mist and late afternoon clouds drape over Valles Marineris, Mars's colossal canyon system. This test image, from the Mars Global Surveyor's wide-angle cameras, shows a section of the canyon, which is 2,000 miles long and up to 5 miles deep. The color was synthesized from images taken through blue and red filters.
