This is what scientists found when they peered deep beneath the surface of Mars

New data from the exploration of Mars has provided more evidence of Mars’ volcanic past.

The new study, which was published in Nature Communications, details how scientists used NARA’s InSight Mars Lander to record vibrations in the ground. This allowed them to map roughly 600 feet beneath the surface of the planet. Here they discovered data that appears to note the existence of stacks of ancient, dried lava flows.
