Hiding in plain sight in Greenland? Right next to the Mars Rover that you can see on Google Maps?

Cool!

A newly discovered volcano near Mars' "Labyrinth of Night" could be a "prime" spot to search for life on the Red Planet, scientists say.

A shield volcano on the high side could make more sense of the erosion channel of Valles Marineris with lava and/or water flows. It sits with the Tharsis bulger region of a deep mantle diapir potentially feeding it to its size and longevity.

Missing the /i sign? Mars is another planet. The LPSC conference print notes similarities with Earth geology though: "“Blistered Terrain” encountered throughout this area is interpreted, on the basis of morphometric and distribution similarities with pitted and gutted mound fields in Alaska, Iceland, and elsewhere on Mars, as fields of rootless cones."

You can see the area on Google Earth, not Maps. But there isn't any Mars Rover in the region, Noctis Landing is a candidate future landing site.

I think we should load up all the illegal aliens in the Us and fly them to Mars... plenty room for them, and they can do their own thing up there, or over there, or wherever it is... lol
