Correct link:

Not sure why extra text was added at the end before when I made it a clickable link. |

Anyone care to comment about the slight 'plume like' brightness spreading up from the top of the 'circle' and for that matter the bright ring like surround on the right ot it?? |

Ur,
It is dust and glare. If you see anything else you will be a woo-woo. Now stop it. Find you a nice rock to look at.

Maybe this where Ringo's hole in his pocket went to! |

Darwin,
I thought this forum was for discussion not derision.
At the risk of a further eccentric response let me say- I really hate bullies.
Yes it looks like dust and glare but ask yourself why there? what process could make it appear the way it does?
If its an extremely deep hole with vertical sides and no raised rim as stated in the image comment where does the glare at the side come from?
If you have a sensible idea then please respond, otherwise we would appreciate it if you be so good as to try to restrain yourself.

UR,
I was being silly, I am in a war right now so we can ask about anything and not be a woo-woo. I am on your side. It should be open to anything of intrest on Mars. That was a good observation. Must be vapor related.

I see what you are referring to. Thanks, because I would have missed it otherwise.
I suppose a hole that large must have considerable internal volume, and maybe can create its own minor “weather” inside.
I think there are other holes in this region also. Check out the Unmanned Spaceflight blog, for a discussion in the Mars Satellite section, HIRISE I think…

Your moisture plum shows up real well here.

UR,
Looks like there is a Cleaveland on Mars.
Cave effect snow. Who would have thonk it?

UR,
How cave effect snow would work. The air in the cave would be warmer at night than the radiationally cooled air on the surface. The warmer air in the cave would hold more moisture. As the wind blew over the cave entrance the warm moist air in the cave would be blown downwind condensate and precipitate out.

HI, FMR, !!!
Why I get kinda INTERNAL server ERROR when I poste a "reply" in Mars Rover Blog????
Anyway, my answer goes right there ("test" above is a "proof"!!!).
Ok let's go back to the "gang" here.
& ALSO let's go back to the "pit"!
For me this pit, if deep as thought, should be at least 3-4 times it's diameter!!!!
So we should have something around 1.2-1.6 km deep... mmmh! doubts arose in me!
If so, how's possible to get SO STEEP & VERTICAL cleefs all around !?!?!
(it has been supposed to be almost VERTICAL!!!) without any sign of COLLAPSE!!! mmmh! cannot imagine ANY immediate geological effect that can produce such a "hole" !!!! isn't it?
For me, instead, it is not a "hole", it's more kinda "lake" !!!!
If you have a look at the Italian Bolsena lake as seen from satellite you will find something very very similar.
Have a look here:
link
So there should be something "fluid" there (not water, since we're at the poles!!!
BUT FLUID, SO DARK (as seen from satellite &
FEATURELESS!!!!)
whatddayathink???

Mario,
You are the man, Zoom in to the north shore and you will see a pennesula. I dont know of a cliff face that could do that. Looks like a shore line. Could be an obtical illusion.

Has to be sinkhole. But what “sunk” to produce it? My guess would be ancient water formed the cavern, which collapsed maybe fairly recently.
If it were a fluid-filled hole of some sort, there would be a specular reflection of some sort from the surface…
