Looking recently at some MGS imagery I found a nice very dark spot on picture

S0901483

May be that a new cave entrance or only a picture defect?

Furthermore, the "seven sister" Dena is not a cave as could be seen in

R0800159

MGS captured it during the sunlight illuminated parts of the bottom.

That is awfully big to be an image defect…and round too. I think it maybe real.

biggrin.gif That sounds good... biggrin.gif

I should add: the "new cave" is also part of the Arsia Mons tunnel network area like the known ones and it is around 243.31 E und 5.35°S in the vicinity of Annie.

Unfortunatly, all other caves (with the exception of Dena) was probably missed by MGS imagery.
