Today's VIS image shows part of Aram Chaos. Aram Chaos was initially formed by a large impact. Over time the crater interior was modified by several different processes, including liquid water. Chaos forms from erosion of the surface into mesa features. With time the valleys expand creating the jumble of hills seen in the image.
