Noctis Labyrinthus, “the labyrinth of the night,” sits at the western end of the largest canyon of the solar system Valles Marineris.
The wavy structures may have formed from this partly molten ejected material. The tectonic forces that opened this canyon also disrupted the crust in this location and led to the formation of many isolated blocks of rock with intervening valleys.
