text: The martian mesa is very common in the region where the Face of Mars was found, yet Garvin says "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." He continues by saying "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face of Mars." It can be proved that this is not an alien structure as, not only is it common in that region in mars, it is also common in Western America.
