A strange relief detail located in the Athabasca region, noticed the Mars Reconnaissance orbiting spacecraft. Probe Mars Reconnaissance was launched on August 12, 2005 for a two-year missions to study the Red Planet. Despite the problems, the device still continues to serve for the benefit of mankind. Mars probe Reconnaissance. ”
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Scientists in Pasadena (California) suggested that in creating a bizarre hill Martian volcanism played a role. Lava probably penetrated under soil and tremors from the inside formed a bump. Judging by the look geological education lacks a certain amount substances. Scientists have suggested that previously there was significant amount of ice that melted and disappeared due to heat lava. In Athabasca there are several more similar hills, whose origin remains a mystery to researchers. Further observations and analysis of images taken the orbital apparatus, will allow cosmologists to find an exact explanation the formation of “brain-shaped” relief elements.
