'''Chryse Planitia''' is a circular plain in the northern equator close to the [[Tharsis]] region. Chryse Planitia is believed to be an ancient impact basin, it's floor being 2.5km below the planet's average surface height. It is 1600 km in diameter, with a land area of approximately 2,560,000 km<sup>2</sup> (an area approximating that of Greenland).

Chryse Planitia was named in 1973 and means "''Golden Plain''" in Greek.

In 1976, the boulder-shrewn plains of Chryse Planitia were chosen as the location for the [[Viking 1]] lander (where the [[Thomas Mutch Memorial Station]] is located today). Although believed to have once been the bottom of an ancient lake basin, Viking 1 observed no fluvial features in the region and appeared at the time to be volcanic. The 1996 [[Mars Pathfinder]] mission was therefore sent to [[Ares Vallis]], an outflow channel emptying into Chryse Planitia.
