HiPOD 25 Jan 23: A Bear on Mars?
This feature looks a bit like a bear’s face. What is it really?
There’s a hill with a V-shaped collapse structure (the nose), two craters (the eyes), and a circular fracture pattern (the head). The circular fracture pattern might be due to the settling of a deposit over a buried impact crater. Maybe the nose is a volcanic or mud vent and the deposit could be lava or mud flows?
Maybe just grin and bear it.

Reminds me of some of my attempts to make animal pancakes.
Now I want pancakes. 🤔
