I can only imagine what it would be like to be hiking around on the those bizarre but wondrous surfaces of that area. Mars boasts some of the most strangest but beautiful land formations anywhere.
Thank you for making and posting this video. My family and I have been huge fans of your work for years. I am also commenting to help your channel with the algorithm.
Excellent reporting with wonderful graphics. Very nice documentary. I'm an amateur planetologist and Mars is my specialty (some would say Mars is my home planet!). There are so many interesting areas to cover, it is hard to know what to recommend next, but here's my two cents: At the extreme western end of the Valles Marineris is a region called Noctis Labyrinthus. It has a giant relict glacier of water ice. By my calculations, the glacier represents 8.6 cubic miles of ice, at 4.2 billion tons per cubic mile, that's 36.12 billion tons, or 8.7 trillion gallons of water. This is slightly more water than Lake Meade at the Hoover Dam. The walls of the canyon rise 7km/4.3 miles above the valley floor and would provide very good protection from radiation, as compared to the surface; therefore, this location would serve as a perfect scientific outpost or starting settlement.
11:33 Wow, those look remarkably like pillow lava flows. I know it's pretty much settled at this point that Mars had water, but this would still be some great visual evidence of an impressively substantial lake here. From the elevation it would imply that the entirety of Argyre basin was a lake.
Incredible yes. Bizarre? I don't know. Looks pretty natural. I think if you could see earth without water, animals and plants it would look very much the same.
think that Triton instead of having a nitrogen ocean, it may have a liquid water ocean. Io may develop a thin carbon atmosphere but eventually will become less active while keep the same features.
It's almost 2024 and the planet Mars is so close to us, 10 years ago I was sure that we would colonize it by now, but instead of focusing on science, people prefer everything else, a new big conflict has started in Israel, the war in Ukraine doesn't end, there are problems with political parties in most countries and many people don't even know what gender they are. What went wrong, I ask myself, we could focus on space exploration and learn so many new things, but humanity prefers to self-destruct, it's disappointing.
Interesting material, but the script could use refinement. Many times I found myself mentally re-writing passages in real time. At about the 16 minute mark you use the sharpness of the shadow as being indicative of the sharpness of the ridge casting it. A very smooth, gradually sloping terrain would cast an equally sharp shadow. The underlying geometry of shadow sharpness derives from: - the angular diameter of the light source, - the distance over which the shadow is cast, - the angle of incidence of the light upon the surface the shadow falls upon, and - the distance across which the shadow is viewed and/or the scale of the image. Any terrain 'edge' interposed into the path of light presents as being of equal sharpness irrespective of the shadowing object's inherent structure or arrangement. A hard-edged ridge line is no different than smooth, gradually sloping ground as far as the shadow each casts in terms of definition of the shadow's edge.
My man...ouch. We long ago dropped a rover (Curiosity, 2012) into Gale Crater. Curiosity has been active on Mars for 4051 sols (4162 total days; 11 years, 145 days).
The Galle crater in Argyre which is mentioned in this video doesn't have a rover. The Gale crater however which is near the equator does indeed have a rover, but Gale and Galle are two different craters at vastly different locations.
@5:48+ ??? Am I the only one who thinks that this is evidence that once upon a time HAIR grew on Mars? More seriously, I wish this video would tell us WHY there are features here. Yes, the streaks were formed by Whirlwinds, but please Tell us about the black lines within the streaks. This is only one example. And of course, for every theory there will be Many opinions about why something exists. But this is the stuff I want to know. -- @13:20 we see a view made as if the camera were looking horizontally. Whether this is computer generated isn't as important as WHERE can we find a video showing a 3-D illustration of these features? Nowadays that should be simple enough from the data we have.
Just discovered your channel and binging through 😄 Great topics well covered! 🤗 btw: you should like (heart) more comments. The algorithm really likes that 😉

Way too many locations with not enough information on them. Would have been better just to choose a few locations and discuss their origin and the like; take some time to go over the image. This felt like I was having to sit through someone's boring vacation photos. Depth over breadth.
Use Musk's Starship to transport 100 Boston Dynamic Androids to Mars instead of 100 Humans. Bipedal and carrying a nuclear power source. You have a small army of explorers armed with AI.
When Dreksler uploads a video, it instantly makes my day
Same I have been watching him for years 😊
That crater at 3:50 has to be one of my new favorites. It just looks so happy to exist. I am never going to unsee that large smiley face on it.
And the smaller one to the upper right is so unhappy about its size, even facing the other direction.
I can only imagine what it would be like to be hiking around on the those bizarre but wondrous surfaces of that area. Mars boasts some of the most strangest but beautiful land formations anywhere.
One day, someone *will* be hiking around those bizarre and strangely beautiful landscapes. It's inevitable, I think. Just think about that.

Man I almost forgot about you last watched your video in December 2017 but I remembered your name. You're my favorite space youtuber 😊
Same here
Nice to see another Dreksler video. Mars is such a beautiful and mysterious world
Yes, I can totally see Elon’s fascination w Mars😊

As always, excellent video! All facts, no clickbait; They're a joy to watch. (I'm commenting in hopes that it'll help you with the TH-cam algorithm!)
Fantastic information! Videos like this and Channels like yours are what makes TH-cam great. Thank you for posting this.
Agreed. Other channels just talk about Olympus Mons. Here, we get info regarding the five tallest mountains.
So happy I found this channel
So am I! 🥳
Hey DA Ive been watching your content on and off for several years now and its nice too see your channel has grown this much (rightly so imho)
Keep it up Dreskler, love your content!!!!
I watch your videos every day, playing with my non-dribble clay and building buildings and Apollo missions until the Wi-Fi cut off😮😢
Hope it's more stable now 🤗
Excellent presentation(s) Dreksler !!! One of the best ways to explore Mars. Fascinating surface features. Thanks for what you do !!!
Informative!
Sounds like a job for the proposed Mars Science Helicopter.
When you upload a video, it makes my day 🧑🏻🚀
Fascinating!
Every video of this channel makes me truly fascinated by space! Fantastic information, thank you 🌌🪐
you have good channel. the forgotten moons is best of yours. ouranos is so creepy planet
Incredible and best informative detailed video about the one area of the Mars’ surface!! ☄️
Most excellent presentation my friend!👍👍
Nice
Great images.
11:53 what is that line left of your arrow?
4:00 the crater is smiling at me 🙂
Your the reason I love space!! 🪐🩶

Dreksler never die please❤

@14:45 that depression could make a excellent mars base. Just dome over the top
😮wow cool looking
What If IO (Jupiter's moon) and Triton (Neptune's moon) switched places
think that Triton instead of having a nitrogen ocean, it may have a liquid water ocean. Io may develop a thin carbon atmosphere but eventually will become less active while keep the same features.
Great video: just one minor quibble, the second syllable of "Argyre" rhymes with "tyre" or "pyre" (or tire or fire).
What about the first?
@@pluto9000rhymes with "Ar"
You're the best ever. I hope you know that
here's how they look; here's what they look like

Oh, Mars will be colonised, but it will be, by the wealthy.
Well not everyone. Here we are.
Seems like we are doing all the work for the invading aliens 😆 Even the terra-forming. 🤣
Truly wonder what its like to stand there...
Like what standing on mars would look like n stuff
Obviously the blast mark from when the population of Mars left the planet.
There are basins on the moon as well as practically every other planet and moon in our solar system. Why are these so special?
awesome
Oh, so many places for a dome colony.
Absolutely fuckign beautiful

Drained seabeds, impact craters, and some electrical scarring here and there. Not as much as the electric universe kids postulate, but it's there.
Looks, or I should say reminds of the South Carolina basins 😮
!!!Space Science!!!

can life exist around red giant stars? red giant stars only reach only 2,200 to 3,200 degrees Celsius.

We should crash tethys onto Mars. A 1000 km pure water ice ball.
Find the smiley.
no one else is talking about the HOLE 🕳️?!!?
Argyre rhymes with tire

thanks! you made my day!😁
