Valles Marineris: The Grand Canyon of Mars
Valles Marineris, the solar system's largest canyon, cuts across Mars for over 3,000 kilometers. It is up to 600 kilometers wide and 8 kilometers deep, dwarfing Earth's Grand Canyon. Its origin is unknown, but one theory suggests it began as a crack billions of years ago.
