Most interesting place on Mars? Prefer less tourists.

What's the most interesting place on Mars? One that most of us haven't seen already?

I'm tired of looking at Olympus Mons...

Don't forget the red light district.

Alba Plater - a smaller volcanic platau north of Tharsis

Valles Marineris - the canyon mostly a tectonic "rift vallyey" very unweathered so it has the main crack plus other smaller ones on the sides

Hellas Plantetia - Deep old impact crater

Elysium Mons - Volcano sort of popping out of nowhere, 30N 210E

Tharsis - The big volcanic desert platau of Mars elv. 29000 feet size Western half of America

The three main mountains of Tharsis - Pavonis, Ascraesus, Arsis Mons all way taller than Everest

Aram Chaos - collapsed chaotic terrain - likely from ice melting under the river delta that extended out of Valles Marineris

North Pole Dunes - 300 miles across many of the dunes are hundreds of feet tall

Tons more

MGS elevations

Get this book you'll know more than you could ever want to about the geology of Mars
