Drill rig pumping water on Mars (?)

[George J. Haas]

While reading the article “Alaska’s Choice Salmon or Gold” in the current issue of National Geographic magazine (December 2010) I notice a picture of a pipe leading form a drill rig pumping water from a mining operation at Pebble, Alaska (Figure 1).

The image reminded me of a similar formation observed on Mars with a nozzle shooting out sprays of liquid that was discovered by Joseph P. Skipper of the Mars Anomaly Research site back in 2001 (Figure 2).

Notice the spray of liquid that appears to be rapidly shooting out of the nozzle end of the pipe. The pipe is connected to the top, or narrow end, of a large egg-shaped dome formation that appears smooth and quite unlike its surrounding terrain. The crevasse in which the pipeline extends is dark, however the end of the pipe can be seen jutting out.

A second dome formation sits to the west of the egg-shaped dome. This second dome is more squared than the first and it also has a smooth surface. It has a pipeline attached to its eastern edge which also ends with a nozzle spewing out liquid. The length of the pipe has intermittent sets of rectangular-shaped straps that appear to be anchoring the pipe to the ruff terrain.

Looking at the image of the flowing pipeline seen in Alaska and the nozzle of gushing liquid on Mars, one can not help but be convinced that what we are witnessing is evidence of flowing water on Mars

That's fascinating George. Considering we know about the water on Mars, and the likely hood of liquid water under the surface as well as below ground habitation, this would be understandable.
