HiPOD 16 May 2023: Layered Deposits on West Candor Chasma

This image shows us an extensive and stunning array of well-exposed faults. This observation is very important for understanding the mechanics of faulting in these deposits and the tectonic history of the area. Candor is one of the largest canyons in the Valles Marineris system, and its formation still remains unclear.
