"Explore the immense power of water as ESA’s
Mars Express takes us on a
flight over curving channels, streamlined islands and muddled ‘chaotic terrain’
on Mars, soaking up rover landing sites along the way.
This beautiful flight around the Oxia Palus region of Mars covers a total area
of approximately 890 000 km², more than twice the size of Germany. Central to
the tour is one of Mars’s largest outflow channels, Ares Vallis. It stretches
for more than 1700 km and cascades down from the planet’s southern highlands to
enter the lower-lying plains of Chryse Planitia.
Billions of years ago, water surged through Ares Vallis, neighbouring Tiu
Vallis, and numerous other smaller channels, creating many of the features
observed in this region today.
Enjoy the flight!"
