This image of the red planet highlights one of its most prominent features: Valles Marineris, a canyon so great it makes the Grand Canyon look like a small hole in the ground. Valles Marineris stretches hundreds of kilometers, and is nearly 10 kilometers deep. Its size is made clear by its incredible presence on Mars. Everything on Mars seems larger in comparison to Earth, containing enormous volcanoes and canyons which puts the Earth's natural landmarks to shame. Besides the view of the canyon, this picture of Mars is also particularly enigmatic, showing beauty in the cold and barren planet. Mars truly is an incredible sight, Valles Marineris just being one aspect that makes it so incredible.
