Oh, this is about planetary science.

When I read the term “plughole” I figured it would be about Joe Biden’s new hair...

Probably just left over Martian open pit mining operation,
closed down by the MEPA.

Now that I’ve actually read the story it is a reasonable theory.

Impacts in subserface ice behaving differently.

Seems if there’s an enormous slab of water ice, nearby would be a good location for a future landing or colony.
