Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?

...Most likely not, since this story seems to be flying, right now, strictly under the radar. Even being posted on FARK seems to have had little or no impact, which is highly unusual.

...To bring you up to speed: NASA takes pictures of stuff in space.

One of the things they take pictures of is Mars.

Lots and lots of pictures of Mars.

So, a Russian, one Alexsander Novgorodov, was looking at / through the reams of NASA Mars pictures, when he noticed something odd.

VERY odd.

A mountain - a very unusual-shaped mountain - standing, totally alone, in the middle of a vast ice sheet, with a very regular rectangular cavity in the side of it.



Now, the article - here - rushes to explain that there's nothing to indicate that this is an artificial construction of any kind, and that it's almost certainly strictly an artifact of erosion; to which I reply:



*ahem*

"When was the last time you saw a 90 degree, square corner occur in nature, hmmmm?"

*ahem.*



So; most likely nothing - almost certainly nothing - but it IS damned odd-looking, isn't it?
