Super Volcano? Impact crater? The possibilities are endless for this feature on the Martian surface.

Be a believer or an atheist. Be a left-winger or a right-winger. Be whatever, but think. If you are tired of people arguing, come join me. Let's celebrate the nuances of this awesome life. This is a space for science which my friend Jan and I keep up. Check it out. PS: So, yes, I write - or try to as well as I can without a proper editor flaying everything I put into words. :)
