That crater at 3:50 has to be one of my new favorites. It just looks so happy to exist. I am never going to unsee that large smiley face on it.

And the smaller one to the upper right is so unhappy about its size, even facing the other direction.

I can only imagine what it would be like to be hiking around on the those bizarre but wondrous surfaces of that area. Mars boasts some of the most strangest but beautiful land formations anywhere.

One day, someone *will* be hiking around those bizarre and strangely beautiful landscapes. It's inevitable, I think. Just think about that.

Thank you for making and posting this video. My family and I have been huge fans of your work for years. I am also commenting to help your channel with the algorithm.

Fantastic information! Videos like this and Channels like yours are what makes KZread great. Thank you for posting this.

Agreed. Other channels just talk about Olympus Mons. Here, we get info regarding the five tallest mountains.

Excellent reporting with wonderful graphics. Very nice documentary. I'm an amateur planetologist and Mars is my specialty (some would say Mars is my home planet!). There are so many interesting areas to cover, it is hard to know what to recommend next, but here's my two cents: At the extreme western end of the Valles Marineris is a region called Noctis Labyrinthus. It has a giant relict glacier of water ice. By my calculations, the glacier represents 8.6 cubic miles of ice, at 4.2 billion tons per cubic mile, that's 36.12 billion tons, or 8.7 trillion gallons of water. This is slightly more water than Lake Meade at the Hoover Dam. The walls of the canyon rise 7km/4.3 miles above the valley floor and would provide very good protection from radiation, as compared to the surface; therefore, this location would serve as a perfect scientific outpost or starting settlement.

As always, excellent video! All facts, no clickbait; They're a joy to watch. (I'm commenting in hopes that it'll help you with the KZread algorithm!)

So happy I found this channel

Hey DA Ive been watching your content on and off for several years now and its nice too see your channel has grown this much (rightly so imho)

Informative!

Excellent presentation(s) Dreksler !!! One of the best ways to explore Mars. Fascinating surface features. Thanks for what you do !!!

you have good channel. the forgotten moons is best of yours. ouranos is so creepy planet

Most excellent presentation my friend!👍👍

Every video of this channel makes me truly fascinated by space! Fantastic information, thank you 🌌🪐

Incredible and best informative detailed video about the one area of the Mars’ surface!! ☄️

Great images.

Dreksler never die please❤

4:00 the crater is smiling at me 🙂

Incredible yes. Bizarre? I don't know. Looks pretty natural. I think if you could see earth without water, animals and plants it would look very much the same.

Truly wonder what its like to stand there... Like what standing on mars would look like n stuff

Nice

It’s obvious that the planet was completely covered in glaciers and as they moved and were moving from volcanic and asteroid impacts it compacted and planned surface. As the glaciers had melt and evaporated into space sands were created and drifted. I have seen similar patterns in the Arctic while working on the icebreaker. And if you look at the coastline and islands from the Arctic down to Washington you can see the same patterns.

Great video: just one minor quibble, the second syllable of "Argyre" rhymes with "tyre" or "pyre" (or tire or fire).

What If IO (Jupiter's moon) and Triton (Neptune's moon) switched places

think that Triton instead of having a nitrogen ocean, it may have a liquid water ocean. Io may develop a thin carbon atmosphere but eventually will become less active while keep the same features.

Obviously the blast mark from when the population of Mars left the planet.

😮wow cool looking

Looks, or I should say reminds of the South Carolina basins 😮

Absolutely fuckign beautiful

You're the best ever. I hope you know that

here's how they look; here's what they look like

There are basins on the moon as well as practically every other planet and moon in our solar system. Why are these so special?

Oh, so many places for a dome colony.

awesome

Interesting material, but the script could use refinement. Many times I found myself mentally re-writing passages in real time. At about the 16 minute mark you use the sharpness of the shadow as being indicative of the sharpness of the ridge casting it. A very smooth, gradually sloping terrain would cast an equally sharp shadow. The underlying geometry of shadow sharpness derives from: - the angular diameter of the light source, - the distance over which the shadow is cast, - the angle of incidence of the light upon the surface the shadow falls upon, and - the distance across which the shadow is viewed and/or the scale of the image. Any terrain 'edge' interposed into the path of light presents as being of equal sharpness irrespective of the shadowing object's inherent structure or arrangement. A hard-edged ridge line is no different than smooth, gradually sloping ground as far as the shadow each casts in terms of definition of the shadow's edge.

Drained seabeds, impact craters, and some electrical scarring here and there. Not as much as the electric universe kids postulate, but it's there.

11:53 what is that line left of your arrow?

My man...ouch. We long ago dropped a rover (Curiosity, 2012) into Gale Crater. Curiosity has been active on Mars for 4051 sols (4162 total days; 11 years, 145 days).

The Galle crater in Argyre which is mentioned in this video doesn't have a rover. The Gale crater however which is near the equator does indeed have a rover, but Gale and Galle are two different craters at vastly different locations.

Just discovered your channel and binging through 😄 Great topics well covered! 🤗 btw: you should like (heart) more comments. The algorithm really likes that 😉

It's almost 2024 and the planet Mars is so close to us, 10 years ago I was sure that we would colonize it by now, but instead of focusing on science, people prefer everything else, a new big conflict has started in Israel, the war in Ukraine doesn't end, there are problems with political parties in most countries and many people don't even know what gender they are. What went wrong, I ask myself, we could focus on space exploration and learn so many new things, but humanity prefers to self-destruct, it's disappointing.

@5:48+ ??? Am I the only one who thinks that this is evidence that once upon a time HAIR grew on Mars? More seriously, I wish this video would tell us WHY there are features here. Yes, the streaks were formed by Whirlwinds, but please Tell us about the black lines within the streaks. This is only one example. And of course, for every theory there will be Many opinions about why something exists. But this is the stuff I want to know. -- @13:20 we see a view made as if the camera were looking horizontally. Whether this is computer generated isn't as important as WHERE can we find a video showing a 3-D illustration of these features? Nowadays that should be simple enough from the data we have.

Way too many locations with not enough information on them. Would have been better just to choose a few locations and discuss their origin and the like; take some time to go over the image. This felt like I was having to sit through someone's boring vacation photos. Depth over breadth.
