How do I view the mark ring?
Is there a command to view the entries in the mark ring, similar to listing buffers with C-x C-b or viewing the kill ring with the function browse-kill-ring or viewing the jump list (in info mode) with L?
It doesn't need to be bound to a key -- I don't even know of (and cannot find) any function that does this.

C-h v mark-ring
C-h v global-mark-ring
A ring is an elisp data structure. It can be created by make-ring function and assigned to any variable.
Each buffer remembers previous locations of the mark, in the “mark
ring”.
That “mark ring” is an elisp variable mark-ring that is a buffer local variable(each buffer has its own value of that variable). mark-ring is declared in emacs/26.1/lisp/simple.el, and core push/pop functions operate on this variable.
To view value of mark-ring variable in a current buffer: C-h v mark-ring
Other packages create/use their own rings; For example emacs/26.1/lisp/progmodes/xref.el ("crossreference)" that jumps to source code definitions uses xref--marker-ring variable to contain its marker ring:
(defvar xref--marker-ring (make-ring xref-marker-ring-length)
"Ring of markers to implement the marker stack.")
ggtags uses it too.
To view value of global-mark-ring(not local, shared by all buffers): C-h v global-mark-ring

Hey, I'll make your answer the accepted one. Could you highlight (in some way) the two lines C-h v mark-ring and C-h v global-mark-ring? (As they're the ones that answer the question). I'll remove this comment when you've done so.

If you use Icicles then you can use C-SPC to go to any marker, choosing it using completion against the text of its line.
With no prefix arg or a positive prefix arg
C-SPCis justset-mark-command, as usual in Emacs (set the mark).C-0 C-SPC(prefix arg 0) invokes commandicicle-goto-any-marker, which lets you choose any marker in any buffer.C-- C-SPC(negative prefix arg) invokesicicle-goto-marker, which lets you choose a marker in the current buffer.
Each of the go-to-marker commands is a multi-command, which means you can act on any number of completion candidates, so you can navigate among the markers that match your current input in the minibuffer (with an empty minibuffer, all markers are candidates).
C-h f icicle-goto-marker:
icicle-goto-markeris an interactive Lisp function in
icicles-cmd2.el.
It is bound to
menu-bar search goto icicles icicle-goto-marker.
(icicle-goto-marker)
Go to a marker in this buffer, choosing it by the line that includes it.
If
crosshairs.elis loaded, then the target position is highlighted.
By default, candidates are sorted in marker order, that is, with
respect to their buffer positions. UseC-M-,orC-,to change the
sort order.
During completion you can use these keys:
C-RET- Goto marker named by current completion candidate
C-down- Goto marker named by next completion candidate
C-up- Goto marker named by previous completion candidate
C-next- Goto marker named by next apropos-completion candidate
C-prior- Goto marker named by previous apropos-completion candidate
C-end- Goto marker named by next prefix-completion candidate
C-home- Goto marker named by previous prefix-completion candidate
<S-delete>- Delete marker named by current completion candidate
When candidate action and cycling are combined (e.g.
C-next), option
icicle-act-before-cycle-flagdetermines which occurs first.
With prefix
C-M-instead ofC-, the same keys (C-M-mouse-2,
<C-M-f1>,C-M-down, and so on) provide help about candidates.
Use
mouse-2,RET, orS-RETto choose a candidate as the final
destination, orC-g’to quit. This is an Icicles command - see
commandicicle-mode.
