contradiction; implication

 * The North Polar Basin, or Borealis basin, is a large basin in the northern hemisphere of Mars that covers 40% of the planet.

Martian dichotomy says the lowlands cover one-third of Mars. Does the polar basin include all of the lowlands (and then some)? Other theories see two or three basins in the north.


 * Chryse Planitia, the landing site of the Viking 1 lander, is a bay which empties into this basin.

There must be way to put this that does not imply flowing water. I'll change empties to opens. —Tamfang (talk) 16:12, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
