About this image

This VIS image shows part of Chryse Chaos. Chaos forms from erosion of the surface into mesa features. With time the valleys expand creating the jumble of hills seen in the image. Chryse Chaos is located within the complex channel system that flows from Valles Marineris to empty into the lowlands of Chryse Planitia.
