Uploader comment: To the left of the image is Melas Chasma, a part of the huge Valles Marineris rift valley, which stretches for more than 4000 km across the face of Mars. Melas Chasma itself sinks 9 km below the surrounding plains, on the right of the image, making it one of the lowest depressions on Mars.
