    Amazing. It's still crazy to think that's on another planet millions of miles away. Looks similar to a desert in Vegas or Arizona or something. I would have loved to see this place when it had flowing water millions of years ago. Maybe even a few billion. Who knows.

    It looks like a desert on Earth! That is really amazing! It's crazy to think that. I can't imagine what other planet's surfaces look like if it was possible for a human to stand on them and take pictures.

    Yes, a very cold, desolate, deadly, desert that will kill you if you even dare to try to breathe it's air.
