The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) onboard ESA’s Mars Express orbiter has imaged a fascinating landscape near the major canyon system of Valles Marineris on the Red Planet. This image from the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) aboard ESA’s Mars Express shows craters, valleys and chaotic terrain in Pyrrhae Regio, Mars. Chaotic terrain forms as a shifting subsurface layer of melting ice and sediment causes the surface above to collapse. In the chaotic terrain seen here, ice has melt...
