I thought that it was generally accepted that Mars is geologically 'dead'.
  • the core has cooled enough that there is no internal 'dynamo' and no strong magnetic field;
  • very thick crust compared to earth;
  • no currently observed volcanic activity; and
  • no apparently recent lava flows.


If this is volcanic activity, it would probably be very big news.

Anyone think otherwise?
