The story

How Noctis Labyrinthus came to be

Where the immense Tharsis volcanic bulge pushes up against the head of Valles Marineris, the Martian crust was stretched and shattered into a genuine maze — a grid of intersecting rifts and collapsed blocks carved kilometers deep into the planet.

The result earned one of the most evocative names in the solar system: the Labyrinth of Night. Some scientists even flag its warmer, sheltered canyon floors as intriguing spots for future exploration.
