So, Phoenix is going to land in the north polar area but outside the polar cap itself? Would it be possible to land on the pole, or is it too dangerous? Would it be worth it? What would we see on the surface?

I'm cranking up for the effort now. (The biggest problem in doing this sort of thing is sifting through all my recorded Web documents, which at this point number about 9000 -- all of them labeled by journal, author, and VERY general subject matter, which means I actually have to glance at a lot of them to see if they're relevant. I'll be looking up a couple of other promised subjects at the same time.)

Sure, after a good coffee drink and some wading mind you will be able to find the wanted topic.QUOTE (ustrax @ Jun 9 2006, 04:29 AM) Thanks  Rodolfo |

QUOTE (RNeuhaus @ Jun 9 2006, 02:14 PM) Thanks You're welcome Rodolfo (did you know that your country is the one in the world that I, since I can remember me, want to visit?...  )If this eventually becomes the choice, and it will not take long for a decision, then we can start thinking about what will we see around there... I've reduced the area of possible landing site in my previous image to this: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b14/ustr...chaiaRupes2.jpg I believe the option will be for safer ground, southern from this area there are cliffs, northern there is large areas of ice...So, in the middle may be the virtue...  Does anyone have the hability of finding images with higher resolution from this area? The coordinates indicated are: 65 and 72 deg N and 120 and 140 deg E -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
