On Mars, the Curiosity Rover that recently landed there is still going strong and has not encountered malfunctions as of yet. Many pictures have been taken of the landscape there and that includes the Yellowknife Bay region of the Gale Crater. The picture above is of that site and it is clear that it extends hundreds of miles and is very deep. Pictures like these are able to be taken from a specialized camera on the rover. This is one of the many self portraits that have been taken by the rover and sent back to Earth and it is a truly amazing sight.
