I was looking at some Mars Express pictures just for fun, and I saw little dark things on the ground. I think it's in fact "caves" (even if I don't like to call them like that) like the ones Mars Odyssey discovered. The holes have been taken by the Mars Express spacecraft and are all in the same area.

You can see them here : http://marscope.blogspot.com/2007/09/les-2...s-young-20.html or http://marscope.blogspot.com.

Please tell me if I'm wrong or not...

Nice find.

Most seem to line up with collapsed areas that could presumably indicate lava tubes underneath. The one I find the most interesting is the first image. While there seems to be a collapsed tube nearby, the broader area around the hole (to my eyes) look like a broad circular depression (or is it raised? - hard to tell).

Where are all these features located?

Bien fait, dude: tu as trouvee des trous. smile.gif (Say that six times fast!)
