I'd love to see some pressure readings from Hellas Basin. It's a full five miles below what scientists say is the average elevation.

Hmm, according to wikipedia, the pressure in Hellas can sometimes get up to 12.4 mbar, and it looks like there are some significant glaciers. Interesting. Tunneling into the ice could be a plausible way to build a Mars habitat...
