	Valles Marineris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One source of this erosion, proposed by Nick Hoffman is decompression of the Noctis Labyrinthus carbon dioxide aquifer.
		Between the Valles Marineris proper and the Noctis Labyrinthus, slightly to the south is Oudemans Crater.
		The Noctis Labyrinthus, on the western edge of the Valles Marineris Rift System, north of the Syria Planum and east of Pavonis Mons, is a jumbled terrain composed of huge blocks which are heavily fractured.

	Mars: Valles Marineris Labyrinthus Noctis Tharsis Olympus Mons Space Art Astronomy
		Labyrinthus Noctis, "the labyrinth of the night" is connected with the Valles Marineris formation as an extension and consists of a very large area of canyons.
		Labyrinthus Noctis is near the Tharsis region, which is a crest of a large (many thousands of kilometers) updoming of the martian crust.
		Please see Space Art 3 for space art of Labyrinthus Noctis (North is to the left, the height from which the canyon system is depicted is 350 km.).

	Image of the Day : Labyrinthus Landslides
		Martian landslides dot the inner walls of Noctis Labyrinthus, better known as the Labyrinth of Night, on the red planet.
		Noctis Labyrinthus is a vast gash across an equatorial region of mars west of its immense Valles Marineris canyon.
		The spacecraft observed light in both the infrared and visible wavelengths in a specific section of the labyrinth where two canyons meet to form a depression 13,000 feet (3,962 meters) deep.

		This is the Noctis Labyrinthus region of Mars.
		The name "2001 Mars Odyssey" was selected as a tribute to the vision and spirit of space exploration as embodied in the works of renowned science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke.

	"No Discernable Debris"
		Channels and pits in the “volcanic” region to the west of Noctis Labyrinthus are described as collapsed lava tubes, but again there is no discernable debris on their floors from the speculative fallen roof.
		To the east of Noctis Labyrinthus is the immense canyon system of Valles Marineris.
		To the east of the Canyon lie the Canyonlands—an eroded region of channels and mesas not unlike Noctis Labyrinthus to the west of Valles Marineris.

		The eastern flanks include the fractured and hummocky blister of Noctis Labyrinthus at the western termination of the Valles Marineris, which is connected via a sinuous and fractured uplift to an older (more cratered) volcanic(?) terrain in the south.
		Formation of the Noctis Labyrinthus blister and its sinuous connection to the older volcanic region to the south (as a gigantic lava tube?); 4.
		Exudation of water from the Noctis Labyrinthus blister from the floor of the Valles Marineris which shows remnants of scouring in channels 'downstream' exiting to the Chryse Planitia in the northeast quadrant.

		The central peak of Oudemans Crater, located at the edge of the Labyrinthus Noctis trough system, consists of steeply-dipping rock layers that were uplifted and tilted by the meteor impact that formed the crater.
		The banded features are layers of light-toned, possibly sedimentary, rock that were brought to the surface and uplifted by the impact process that formed the crater and its central peak.
		Oudemans Crater's central peak serves as a means for probing the nature of rock that lies beneath the plains cut by the Labyrinthus Noctis troughs, which are part of the vast Valles Marineris system.

		On the eastern flanks of the Tharsis bulge is a vast system of interconnected canyons.
		They extend just south of the equator from Noctis Labyrinthus, near the crest of the Tharsis bulge, eastward for about 4000 km until they merge with some large channels and chaotic terrain.
		Noctis Labyrinthus at the western end consists of numerous intersecting closed, linear depressions.

		Our position is longitude 100°W, latitude 20°S, some 800 kilometers south of Noctis Labyrinthus, the area of crisscrossing valleys in the center of the image.
		The long valley, east of Noctis Labyrinthus, is Valles Marineris.
		The three shield volcanoes to the west are (from north to south) Ascraeus Mons, Pavonis Mons, and Arsia Mons; the large volcano close to the terminator is Olympus Mons, Mars's highest mountain.

		The photos are not yet fully calibrated for scientific use, and so no science findings are being discussed, said researchers who operate the camera from Arizona State University.
		This image shows a portion of Noctis Labyrinthus, a large valley system at the western end of the Valles Marineris canyon system.
		Noctis Labyrinthus is notable for its unusual pattern of intersecting valleys, which give the region a maze-like appearance when viewed from above.

		The walls of these valleys are very high (~5 km) and quite steep, with slopes approaching 35°.
		Labyrinths have long been in the human imagination, and it’s no wonder that this area conjured up for early viewers all of the legends of antiquity, of a land where a Minotaur hides and a conquering hero needs a spool of thread to guide him through an inner maze.
		At the western end of Valles Marineris, the largest canyon in the solar system, Noctis Labyrinthus holds the secrets to long-term geologic change in the area.

		The transition zone between maze-like troughs of Noctis Labyrinthus and the main Valles Marineris canyon system are shown in this THEMIS visible camera image.
		This huge system of troughs near the equator of Mars was most likely created by tectonic forces which pulled apart the crust.
		They occur in a transition zone between the maze-like region of Noctis Labyrinthus and the deep canyon system of Valles Marineris, the largest and “grandest” canyon in the solar system.

		West of the immense equatorial gash of Valles Marineris lies a checkerboard region named Noctis Labyrinthus, the Labyrinth of Night.
		This feature's origins are not certain, but scientists think it began to develop when volcanic activity stirred in the adjoining region of Tharsis, stretching the martian crust and fracturing it.
		No one can yet say - and its origin might even combine all these in some way.
