Pitted Landforms in Southern Hellas Planitia NASA’s Mars Exploration
Hellas Planitia offers a few protective advantages on its own: NASA probes have shown that the most intense radiation environments on Mars are at the poles. But Hellas Planitia lies.

Hellas Planitia /ˈhɛləs pləˈnɪʃiə/ is a plain located within the huge, roughly circular impact basin Hellas located in the southern hemisphere of the planet Mars. Hellas is the third- or fourth-largest known impact crater in the Solar System.
Till Hellas Freezes Over See Frost and Clouds in Mars' Largest Crater
The fractures of the Cerberus Fossae landscape, located in the vast plain Elysium Planitia on Mars, cut through hills and craters, indicating their relative youth. A new study providing the most detailed three-dimensional map of volcanic features in this area paints a picture of Mars as planet with a much more tumultuous geologic past than.

Banded Terrain in Hellas Planitia. Nov. 29, 2021. Context Image. This image shows a portion of an enigmatic formation called banded terrain, which is only observed in the northwest of the Hellas basin. This basin was formed by a giant impact around 4 billion years ago. It is the deepest impact basin on the planet, and banded terrain is in the.
Hellas Planitia
Hellas Planitia is a vast meteorite impact basin located at 42° 42'S 70° 00'E, in the Mars southern hemisphere. Hellas Planitia is in the Hellas quadrangle and the Noachis quadrangle. It's name is a classic feature name that refers to the country of Greece. [1] The name was officially approved in 1973. [2]
Landforms in Northwestern Hellas Planitia Mars
Hellas Planitia (centered at 70°E, 42°S) is a ~2000 km diameter impact basin (Wood and Head, 1976).It exhibits a wide variety of terrains, interpreted to have been shaped by a range of fluvial, volcanic, aeolian, and glacial/periglacial processes (Bernhardt et al., 2016a).Fluvial activity is suggested to have occurred along the northern rim of the basin during the Noachian and possibly later.
