M03-07456 Coprates, wide-angle, overview of "Lagoon" and Ridge.
M03-07455 narrow-angle, detail of "Lagoon" and ridge structure. At least 9 equilateral conical shaped "teeth" pointing upwards within the fluid body.
M03-00945 narrow-angle, detail of the "river" fluid body and Dome structure on North bank with spiral ramp descending from top.

Description:

 

East of "The TOWER" <presented previously> there is an artificial ridge serving as a berm to a WATER FILLED LAGOON with anomalous bizarre triangular "teeth" beneath the surface!! Also there is a flowing river cascading over a waterfall into a deep pool and flowing beyond!

Ridge

As I was examining "The Tower" anomaly and making sense of it, I also became aware that a ridge partially seen in the same image containing "The Tower" was quite smooth, shiny to the point of appearing highly polished and the both sides of the ridge are uniformly bowed outward.  Even more importantly, this ridge has a trend direction directly toward the base of the "Tower". This ridge section is labeled ridge "A".

Why did I take notices of this ridge trend direction? Because the "Tower" is clearly non-natural and is giving off *steam*. The source of this steam is not the tower itself, since it is nothing but an enormous chimney or "stack", and therefore has to be elsewhere. Since there are no clearly evident structures attached to the tower, the source of the steam must be in structures which are UNDERGROUND!

I also became aware that ridge "B" is quite dissimilar in structure and appearance from the attached section of ridge "A". Ridge "B" has a white overall reflection but also appears to have a much rougher irregular texture.  

Them detail for the structure of the ridges came from narrow-angle image M03-07455. A portion of the image foot print is outlined in white above.


RIDGE STRUCTURE DETAIL

The structure of ridge section "B" is defined by three separate and distinct layers:

Metallic foundation: This base layer is a metallic looking with a texture resembling brushed aluminum and exhibiting metallic reflection.
Laminar covering: Laminar covering with evidence of having been fluid at one point and then having hardened, showing flow forms. This laminate appears to be as a sort of attaching epoxy for the crystalline layer on top of it.
Crystalline Layer: This layer consists of cylindrical glassy crystals that crisscross one another, giving the ridge a rough texture and hiding the smooth surface of the laminate beneath which would clearly appear non-natural.
     

This layered structure to the ridge section "B" makes it appear a non-natural construct. It is likely that Ridge section "A" is made of a similar construction but only consisting of layer #1 and #2. The absence of layer number #3 would give section "A" of the ridge the highly polished and smooth appearance in a wide-angle image, as it is viewed in both MO3-00946 and MO3-07456.

Further inspection of image MO3-07455 revealed the "Lagoon" area with many indications of flowing water and also a a very definitive non-natural structure evident beneath the fluid surface: numerous equilateral triangular "teeth" in a row, pointing toward the surface!!!

This ridge structure is likely serving as a non-natural BERM to contain the fluid in the "Lagoon." Also the Ridge area itself is likely hollow and may contain whatever mechanisms that led to the *steam* emanating from "The Tower". Perhaps this steam my be resulting from some sort of process whereby the fluid body, "water", is purified or perhaps used in some way. There are "caves" evident beneath the surface of the "Lagoon" that may serve as a conduit for this purpose, be it for effluent or intake.
