I propose photographing numerous channels east of Hellas.
Their lower parts sure look a lot like ancient rivers and even delta sedimentation (for example, http://www.google.com/mars/#lat=-41.450961...mp;map=infrared - note completely covered over largish crater a bit to the left from center). Ancient water history, yay! Going "upriver" we eventually reach highlands and what looks to me like volcanic plains created by Tyrrhena Patera eruptions. Unless I am mistaken again and this terrain is not volcanic. It has confusing "young" look with crisscrossing ridges: http://www.google.com/mars/#lat=-28.149503...mp;map=infrared On one hand, it looks like very wide lava flows. OTOH, lava flows covering territory much bigger than Olympus Mons base? Is this realistic? |
