Mare Australe quadrangle
The Mare Australe quadrangle is one of a series of 30 quadrangle maps of Mars used by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Astrogeology Research Program . The Mare Australe quadrangle is also referred to as MC-30 (Mars Chart-30). [1] The quadrangle covers all the area of Mars south of 65°, including the South polar ice cap , and its surrounding area. The quadrangle's name derives from an older name for a feature that is now called Planum Australe , a large plain surrounding the polar cap. [2] The Mars polar lander crash landed in this region.

The Mare Australe quadrangle is also referred to as MC-30 (Mars Chart-30). [1] The Mare Australe quadrangle covers all the area of Mars south of 65°. Around the southern ice cap is a surface, called the Dorsa Argentea Formation that may be an old ice-rich deposit. It contains a group of sinuous, branched ridges that resembles eskers that form when streams are under glaciers. [2] The formation often contains pits: two major locations are named Cavi Angusti and Cavi Sisyphi. The pits have steep sides and an irregular shape. They are up to 50 km across and 1 km deep. [3] |

Mariner 9 showed a small area located at 82° S and 66° W that looked like the ruins of an ancient city. Mariner 9 team members named it "Inca City." It looked like sand dunes that formed from winds that blew from two different directions, but the dunes were too big. In 2002 the camera on Mars Global Surveyor revealed that Inca City was part of a large circular structure that was 86 km in diameter. So the shape meant that it was probably caused by an asteroid impact which cracked the crust. Later, magma flowed along the cracks. When the magma cooled, hard, erosion resistant walls of rock (dikes) formed. The crater was covered over, then partially exhumed. The hard walls of rock wre left standing as softer surrounding material eroded away. [1] |
