If you were standing on the "walls" of the canyon, it would look like terrain with a 10%–15% slope. You wouldn't even notice it's a canyon. | ||||||||

The bit of mars that fascinates me is the Hellis Planitia[1] A huge hole roughly opposite the globe from the large volcano complex[2] coincidence.. I think not. I am vaguely surprised it was not higher rated for a rover mission. 7k meters down should do something interesting to the atmosphere if nothing else. 1. https://trek.nasa.gov/mars/#v=0.1&x=72.07800218650755&y=-42.... 2. https://trek.nasa.gov/mars/#v=0.1&x=-116.4913302335018&y=16.... | ||||||||
