Possible cave entrances on Mars

As of 2007 seven putative cave entrances have been identified in satellite imagery of the planet Mars, all so far located on the flanks of Arsia Mons.[1] They have been informally dubbed Dena, Chloë, Wendy, Annie, Abbey, Nikki, and Jeanne.

A more recent photograph of one of the features shows sunlight illuminating a side wall, suggesting that it may simply be a vertical pit rather than an entrance to a larger underground space.[2]
