What if Mars had the same water coverage as Earth? 🟠💦🌍
Using Mars' elevation map, I gradually fill its lower regions with water until about 70% of the surface is underwater—just like Earth.
Thanks to Mars' global dichotomy, "Blue Mars" ends up split in two: a massive northern ocean, and a large southern continent.
Which feature of this watery Mars do you find more fascinating?
