Yes, it was the outwash area.
I've been looking at the Phoenix site planning: Phoenix potential landing areas Step 1: select areas (D and E: rejected) A 65º to 72º N 250º to 270º E B 65º to 72º N 120º to 140º E C 65º to 72º N 65º to 85º E D 65º to 72º N 230º to 250º E E 65º to 72º N 300º to 320º E Step 2 : Examine preferred box in each area Area A box 68º N 260º E Area B box 67.5º N 130º E Area C box 70º N 80º E Step 3 :Seek preferred boxes in the best area Area B, box 1 67.5º N 130º E Area B, box 2 66º N 136º E Area B, box 3 70.5º N 136º E The MRO images of "northern plains" are mostly in these areas. orbit 828 is in B-1 orbit 841 is in B-2 orbit 848 is in B-3 orbit 856 is near C orbit 861 is in B-2 orbit 881 is in B-1 Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
