Hi All

Looks like bulldust to me - literally, as that stuff is so fine and dry that it flows just like a liquid.

...there seem to be surface features on the putative "liquid" which make it look more like dust to my inexpert eyes. Would be very cool if it was water, but it's awfully unlikely. Bottom of Hellas maybe on a warm day, but there?
