The Valles Marineris on the planet Mars constitute an enormous group of steep-walled equatorial canyons extending over an area more than 4000 km long and up to 700 km wide. An overview of Valles Marineris is provided, taking into account canyon system subdivisions, imaging and topographic data, Noctis Labyrinthus, western troughs, central troughs, east central troughs, and eastern canyons. Aspects of canyon wall and canyon floor morphology are discussed, giving attention to erosional features, layered rocks in canyon walls, tectonic features, plains, landslide deposits, hilly terrain, fractured floor, and floor plateaus and ridges. Upland pits and closed depressions in the canyons are considered along with regional tectonics and regional erosional styles.
