| Hellas Planitia, an incredibly large and deep impact basin in the southern hemisphere, is so deep that air pressure in its lowest areas is sufficient to sustain liquid water. At the moment, nearly all our experiments we've sent to the Martian surface, have landed in the northern hemisphere. The Curiosity rover is an exception to this, but it is wandering around inside Gale Crater, just south of the equator and only a few hundred kilometres from InSight. It will be very interesting to get on-sight weather data from deeper in the southern hemisphere, which we'll surely do as our ability to land on much more [[: | Hellas Planitia, an incredibly large and deep impact basin in the southern hemisphere, is so deep that air pressure in its lowest areas is sufficient to sustain liquid water.
