The Odyssey spacecraft has taken some great pictures of Valles Marineris, the largest canyon in the solar system. If this canyon were on Earth, it would stretch from New York to Los Angeles. Image of the Day toured some of the canyons that make up this vast system.

The central part of this image shows the hills that are found between Ophir Chasma (northern part) and Candor Chasma. Multiple landslides, dunes, and wind-eroded surfaces are present in this area.
