I seem to recall that a degree of mist could occasionally appear
within the depths of the Hellas impact feature. Would this bode well
for a comparatively more friendly habitation environment?
With its surrounding mountain ranges, and a high rim wall of cliffs,
the floor of Hellas may avoid some of the hairier winds and dust
storms. It's great depth means a fairly high atmospheric pressure year-
round. Plus, it's not too far from the equator.
I'd imagine, if a honeycomb of tunnels could be drilled there, it'd be
an ideal destination for a pipeline to pump in water from the northern
ice cap.
