Topographic context map – chaotic regions and outflow channels
At the eastern end of the Valles Marineris canyon system, there are numerous chaotic regions and some of the largest outflow channels on Mars. These were formed billions of years ago by huge masses of water flowing in the direction of the northern lowlands. The valley in which Hydraotes Chaos is situated is approximately the size of southern Germany.
