We present the analysis of Chandra observations of the massive galaxy cluster Abell 1835. The high spatial resolution of Chandra enables us to study in detail variations of the X-ray spectrum with radius from the central cooling flow out to radii of a Megaparsec. In particular, we can measure the mass deposition rate and the excess absorption in the cooling flow as a function of radius. In the cluster core we find evidence for substructure of the X-ray emission on scales of several kiloparsecs.
