text: The final picture they took on April 5,1998, actually showed the Martain equivalent of a buttle or mesa. Buttles and mesas are landforms common around the American west. "It reminds me most of Middle Buttle in the Snake River Plain of Idaho" says Garvin. "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa, about the same hieght as the Face on Mars." The Snake River in Idaho is basically evidence that Cydonia isnt really a face and that is was just a buttle, or mesa.
