This Plain Takes Up 1/3 Of Mars' Surface - Borealis Basin

The North Polar Basin is by far the largest basin on Mars, it is also where every single successful surface mission on Mars happened. This video covers every successful surface mission in order to get a good look at how this massive basin looks like from the ground, it also covers the odd features of the basin.

Intro and outro were made with Space Engine.

I love this Mars landscape series of yours. Geology truly is alien, different and unique on Mars. Makes us wonder what it is like on other planets.

[LastKingLKArthur]

Yeah another Dreksler Keep it up with topics you’re totally into. Your voice, the background music + atmosphere in general is all rhyming blissfully!

[ARWest-bpyb]

I hope we get people there to study the surface in my lifetime. Most excellent work Drex!👍👍

I wish one day I could explore this fascinating geography in person.

Another great video from my favorite astronomy channel.

This is the best information source of Mars I have ever seen. Thank you so much Dreksler. Love to see another tour of other geographic locations on the planet.

Yo this was a great video! So much broader than I'd imagined. I never thought I'd find the geography of Mars so interesting!

[sandrinojohnsun]

Its crazy how similar the surface of mars looks to a desert on earth

[Primatron]

Very informative video, you've got a new subscriber.

So interesting indeed. Great video and good work!

Dreksler,

Just a point of English (you are doing so well on this video, but this one thing stands out).

These are the two expressions that you should use.

"How it looks."
"What it looks LIKE".

But don't put the two together: "HOW it looks LIKE". XXX wrong! :) You consistently put them together, and you shouldn't. :(

So, if you start with "how", don't add "like".
But if you start wth "what" then you want to add "like".

We can take these two expressions apart so you can see why:

How does it look? This is how it looks. (adverbial usage)

What does it look like? It looks like this (what). (prepositional usage)

While everyone understands you when you accidentally blend them, it still sounds wrong, and when you use them correctly, you will sound so much better!

Thanks for a very good tour of the various landing sites on Mars!

Great video - I really enjoyed that. I never realised that the surface of Mars was quite so big and complex. Wonderful for the imagination.
I love your stuff on planets and moons. Every different planet and moon is like the setting for a unique sci-fi story.

🚀🚀

Fascinating stuff! Man I wish I could visit every planet surface in person

[cavetroll]

Thanks for the content love watching at work

[SquirrelASMR]

I love these recent terrain videos and would love to see more videos for other planets and moons.

[RobCLynch]

One of the best things about exploring Mars tells us what the Earth will look like in a few million years.

This is a great survey
Usually videos have a narrower (yet still interesting) scope
Thanks

[stryfe]

Everyone wake up! Dreksler just dropped another astronomy video!

[uwqq]

Another great video from my favorite astronomy channel! 👨🏻‍🚀 I hope we will know much more in my lifetime 🌌

What If our Moon and Mercury switched places
