Impressive picture of the polar cap of Mars, taken by the Mars Express mission to Mars. is a mystery how the north polar cap of Mars is nearly divided into two large divisions and Chasma Boreale calls. No similar formation on Earth.
The difference in elevation from a cliff top to the lowest point of the valley is more than a mile.
Pictured above, several dusty layers are in this deep abyss. The cliff faces, mostly to the left but still partly visible from above, appear dramatically red. The light areas are probably water ice.

The image covers about one kilometer near northern Mars, and the difference in elevation from right to left of it is over a mile. A deck hypothesis that the formation of Chasma Boreale has its origin in an underlying volcanic activity.
