  • $\begingroup$ Nice remembering Mars. Now OPs map is far more extreme (probably), but that could just be that it could be newer, with less time to even out $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ That's not working. That mountain will move to the equator (i.e. the rotation axis will shift). Similar to Mars, where the big volcanoes are on the equator (but what about continental drift?) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @DavidTonhofer You mean similar to Mars, where a) there is no continental drift, and b) the mass imbalance due to the northern hemisphere depression is 75 times the mass of Olympus Mons? That Mars? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @MarvinKitfox Yes, exactly that Mars. "Depressions" in polar regions are exactly what things tend to. Great tilt gave Mars a new face. No continental drift means things stay that way. $\endgroup$
