Flying over Becquerel crater
Becquerel crater is 167 km in diameter and lies in the Arabia Terra region on Mars, on the boundary between the southern highlands and northern lowlands. This movie shows the location of Becquerel crater on Mars and then provides a flyover of a mound of layered, sulphate-bearing deposits on the crater floor, thought to have formed under the influence of water. The darker material surrounding the mound is wind-blown dust from a source to the north, and provides evidence for effects of wind in eroding the sedimentary deposits.
The movie was made from a mosaic of four individual images acquired by the High Resolution Stereo Camera on ESA?s Mars Express during orbits 3253/1, 5332, 5350 and 5368. The image is centred at about 22?N / 352?E. The average ground resolution is about 17 m per pixel.

Has there ever been any caves found or Mars?

Gute Arbeit Haus D =)
Great video, terrible choice of music
It looks like a lake to me. Is that water?
