Fly Through A Canyon On Mars


Glide through part of the largest canyon on Mars, Valles Marineris, in this stunning colour movie from ESA's Mars Express. The movie focuses on an enclosed 8 km-deep (5 miles) trough in the northern most part of Valles Marineris, called Hebes Chasma.

The movie glides over impact craters pockmarking the plains separating the troughs, down cliff faces scarred by landslides, and along the rough valley floor.
