Underground nuclear testing ? For when they invade earth because of global warming That does seem like a perfect place for aliens to hide their human destroying invasion fleet if we don't embrace more EPA regulations and a gigantic carbon tax.

Well finally some real scientific speculation on this thread!

Damn, didn't y'all ever "Invaders From Mars" when you were kids?
That is clearly one of those spots where the sand swirls around and sucks in the unsuspecting to have that probe inserted into their skull.

While I am all for the fanciful thought of the posts above yours, given that we have no proof otherwise this could be where Obambi came from ...
Nuke it.

maybe it broke through to a cave underneath? There are known to be lavatube-type caves all around Olympus Mons after all

It is nothing but one big mushroom. Yummy.

My guess is a massive explosion turing the crater into a glass like funnel. Fluid erosion ate away at the softer material under the glass funnel leaving a void. Must have had a very wet surface at one time.

You are correct. Shakespeare´s Macbeth has the answer.

Thanks GeronL. The impact that caused the crater produced enough heat to melt / evaporate the chunk of ice under that part of the Martian surface, leaving only the hole. It's too bad we can't all go ATV-ing across Mars, really. :')

If you’re leaving it parked on Mars all the time, you’re just asking for trouble.

That’s where the locals hid those missing landers.
