Cydonia Mensae

Cydonia Mensae is a region on Mars characterized by flat-topped mesas and rugged terrain. Located in the northern hemisphere, it features a mix of smooth, plateau-like areas and steep cliffs, shaped by ancient volcanic activity and erosion. The area gained fame because of the "Face on Mars" feature, a mesa that resembles a human face in some images, sparking speculation about past civilizations. However, further detailed imaging shows it is a natural formation created by geological processes. Cydonia Mensae helps scientists study the planet’s geological history and surface processes on Mars.
