This is almost vaguely caving related if you consider that the Mars rover Curiosity, is ridgewalking over virgin rocky terrain. The rover has been on the planet 446 days now. I do not believe it is a kilometer from the landing site, but is pretty close to passing that in the next few drives.

Mars has rocks too, and I feel certain there must be a hole there somewhere even if it isn't in limestone. As to keeping it to caving, what a joke! For the last year or so all I have read on this list is a litany of age related woes, various personal disasters, and daily updates concerning

The current newsstory about Earth life originating on Mars is greatly flawed. Mars several billion years ago was most likely farther from the Sun. Possibly the Sun was bigger & brighter, then too. The Earth would have been further away from the sun too. Venus might have been in the ideal location

I have to forward this very informative post on one of the Mars pits, as posted to TAG-NET by Bill Deane. It is outstanding for the analytical content (however brief) and references, as well as the calculation of the depth of the pit at 178 meters, or 584 ft.. Deep Pit on Mars By: Bill Deane
