Strange landform on Mars


It's pretty obvious what it is.  The feature rises prominently above the Martian terrain.  Because it is located south of Ascraeus Mons - a large volcano within the Tharsis volcanic plateau on Mars - NASA scientists believe it was formed by volcanic processes.

But you know, and I know, that this is a geoglyph, proving that ancient Martians worshipped rubber duckies.

  2. Clearly it's meant to represent a duck. Or a butterfly. Or a domino mask or a hatchet. Or a pupa spitting ripples into a pond. Or a ViewMaster 3D viewer toy. Or Magneto. Or a female mammal's internal reproductive apparatus. Or a sportsball stadium or two seahorses kissing or a dirtbike track.
