Mars Orbiter Reveals Detailed Images of Massive Aganippe Fossa

ESA's Mars Express captures the 600-kilometer-long scar, offering new insights into the Red Planet's volcanic past.

Aganippe Fossa, a 600-kilometer-long graben, is longer than the Grand Canyon.
The scar was likely formed by volcanic activity beneath Arsia Mons millions of years ago.
Mars Express has been orbiting Mars since 2003, providing high-resolution images and data.
The newly released images show varied terrains, including hummocky and lobate features.
Wind and lava flows have shaped the region, creating distinct surface patterns and zebra-like stripes.
