NASA Text: Science Theme: Future Exploration/Landing Sites. Mawrth Vallis has some of the most spectacular color variations seen anywhere on Mars. This color variability is due to a range of hydrated minerals—water caused alteration of these ancient deposits—which is why this site is of interest to study the past habitability of Mars.
