ESA Mars Express Reveals Striking 375-Mile-Long Scar on Mars

The Aganippe Fossa, a massive canyon near Arsia Mons volcano, offers new insights into the Red Planet's volcanic history.

Aganippe Fossa is a 375-mile-long graben located in the Tharsis region of Mars.
The canyon was likely formed by magma pressure beneath the Arsia Mons volcano millions of years ago.
New high-resolution images highlight the diverse terrain, including lava flows, sand dunes, and zebra-like patterns.
Mars Express has been orbiting Mars since 2003, capturing detailed images and data of the planet's surface.
The Tharsis region, home to several large volcanoes, remains a key area of interest for planetary scientists.
