About this image

One of the topics for the Image of the Day was mountains and chaotic terrain on Mars. This is an image of Hydraotes Chaos, the large chaos terrain just east of Valles Marineris. Chaos is typically interpreted to be a collapse terrain; it is the blocky landscape after the transport and removal of subsurface support material.
