Dark circle near the south pole of Mars
2007-10-24 17:06:00 This circular feature lies only 200 km from the Martian south pole. It has been known from the Mariner 9 and Viking Orbiter images, but now the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has taken new, high resolution images of this area. The circle itself is about 4 km across and looks quite perfect. Can it be an impact crater? After all, an impactor has to have quite an inclined orbit to be able to hit near the southern pole. Well, the team writes about this image: Bright areas are covered by carbon dioxide frost, with a "swiss cheese" pattern common at the south polar residual cap. The circular evenness of the depression suggests an impact crater, but there is no evidence of a crater rim or debris unless it lies beneath the frost. While the depression may have formed by collapse, the image is missing the typical ground fractures that form around a collapse pit.The HiRISE page has an even higher resolution image. (This is it) As can be seen, there's a cone near the center. The terrain around it...
