However, it can be seen that, in the first picture, the northern depression/crater is empty. This indicates that the ice had melted, which suggests that the crater does not fill to the brim with accumulated ice in the first place. How could it be that such a tremendous quantity of ice could accumulate every winter, only to melt away again during the summer and leave the crater empty? How much water would be involved to accumulate in a crater which is hundreds of miles wide and many, many miles deep? This would be something akin to having the entire ice sheet on Antartica build up and melt every year. Where would such an amount of water/ice come from? Mars is presented to us as a mostly dry planet, supposedly with no rivers or lakes. The Martian atmosphere is said to have only 2% of the density of the Earth's atmosphere, so it could not be laden with much moisture given this model. Even on the Earth, a planet which is 2/3 covered with water, we cannot imagine such a phenomenal amount of accumulation and melting taking place over the span of a year. If the depression were largely filled with ice which melts, we would have to witness the water draining out and sloshing here and there. Astronomers have ventured the explanation that the water may be quickly absorbed by cracks and crevices, such that we simply have never observed it drain, but that would be a lot of water to disappear unperceived. Is such an explanation reasonable? The above photograph [ Attached ] suggests that the ice- were it ice- is relatively shallow in the depression, only coming to the brim on one side, and way below the brim on the other. Other photos, however, show the depression full to the brim on all sides. We cannot accept that it is accumulated ice which is responsible for this, for the reasons which we have just gone over. Therefore, we can concludes that the polar depression is principally filled by cloud cover which accumulates every winter. The clouds fill in the polar depression and stay put in that area. This fits in well with Gardner's theory that it was cloud cover which is actually seen at the pole. And where does thick, heavy cloud cover come from on a planet whose atmosphere is only 2% of that of Earth's? The traditional, solid-planet model does not explain this cloud phenomenon in any suitable way. The Hollow Planet Theory offers a tenable explanation; that the clouds result from the warmer atmosphere from the interior of the planet in contact with the colder, outer atmosphere. Although there is no gaping hole seen in any NASA images of Mars, the picture above shows crevices which can allow the passage of humid air and clouds from within the planet. The Martian polar depression, then, is the threshold of an opening to the interior of the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
