Looks like a big carbuncle or a really big zit.

Must be the result of Martianogennic Global Warming.
Either that, or Bush is up to his old tricks again.
Whatever the reason, it be rasisss!

I’m guessing its a collapsed lava tube under loose sand. Actually reminds me of a *cold* solder joint on a circuit board when looked at with a X10 microscope.
In particular the the circular cratering (break) just inside of the outer circumference.
Saw the exact same pattern and look (and I mean exact) when manufacturing didn't use enough heat while soldering.
Cause the type of thermal intermittent that would *eat your lunch* to find :)

It has moved, last time it was on the other side of the page.
It’s not a hole, it is a hatch.

Reminds me when I was a kid we saw these ‘ant-eater’s’ holes in the sand. An ant would fall in and a couple of big claws would come out and catch the ant and eat it up. Actually we would catch an ant and put it in the hole to see the ant-eater do his thing. Maybe Mars has some really big ant-eaters waiting for us.

To me, amazingly similar to a cold solder joint.
Really looks like something thermal happened to cause the Martian hole.........Just speculating........Again.

I was thinking the same thing! It is a giant, fricken, Martian ant lion!

Looks to me like the area surrounding the hole fell into it after an opening was created, for whatever reason.

Perhaps some sort of underground spring that formed an ice dome in the center. The spring dries up, the ice dome evaporates, the hole forms. Maybe there is still ice in the bottom that is still evaporating.
