Mars may be the second smallest planet in our solar system, but contrary to popular belief, it is filled with mystery and a whole lot of personality. It has been reported that this red planet has surface features reminiscent of the impact craters of the moon, as well as the volcanoes, valleys, deserts and polar ice caps of Earth.
