Published: April 22, 2013, 7 p.m.

The planet Mars boasts the most dramatic landscapes in our solar system. Kevin Fong embarks on a grand tour around the planet with scientists, artists and writers who know its special places intimately- through their probes, roving robots and imaginations. This first part of the journey includes Mars\u2019 gargantuan volcanoes, an extreme version of Earth\u2019s Grand Canyon and the cratered Southern Highlands where future explorers might find safety from the Red Planet\u2019s deadly radiation environment.
