Thanks for the lake bounday map and other interesting comments. I agree that the image suggests two different types of surface with a boundary more or less as drawn. I particularly like the 'river estuary' but I'm not so sure about the two isolated lake patches on the right. However there is a heck of a lot of detail within the 'lake' including continuations of apparent drainage features. Doesn't look deep enough to sail a boat to me.
I agree that lakes are plausible, even likely, and that they could look like this, but I have a nagging doubt that the same appearance could be produced in other ways. I just want the case nailed down - solid evidence of liquid, so to speak, and I think we're still waiting (not what you'd guess from the press releases). |

Such As? You cant possibly think that the features in this image could be formed by anything other than a moving liquid? http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpegMod/PIA01942_modest.jpg |
