That looks like a UFO to you? That looks more like some sort of geological thing, look at the cracks on it. I wouldn't expect any aliens to fly around in some saucer with a bunch of squiggly, random cracks in it.

I would venture to guess that this disc anomaly is a “Mars one of a kind”.
I think both that "disc" and the other a little to the top of the image are the same type of thing.

Yes, I have seen that one also, and have looked at it several times, but it is just not definitive enough for me, to include in an anomaly post. My "one of a kind comment" was relative to this type of disc shaped object.
In my opinion, nothing was applied.
In my opinion, if this dark hairy/thatchy looking stuff has been applied, then there is very likely a lot of other stuff in this area that has been "hidden".
Everything is interesting on Mars, at least to me.
The south pole is very interesting.
Because the satellites have polar (or near polar) orbits, so each time they photograph a "slice" of Mars (in this case) from north to south (or vice versa), they pass over both poles, and we end up with more photos of the poles than photos of the other areas
And why, if there was nothing there but ice, would they take so many photos?
Probably because the south pole is more active at the moment, with a bigger change from summer to winter than the north pole.

Hi ArMaP - If that is the case, then I wonder why the north pole is nothing like the south pole, in terms of the numbers of photographs taken "on ice". I will post a screenshot of the north pole, so you too can make that comparison.
Why should it be some kind of surface growth? According to many scientists, there are changes every spring, and the surface changes appearance, because the CO2 ice disappears and some darker areas become noticeable, like the famous "trees", that seen in higher resolution appear as surface features.
Of course you could be right. So, if it is not "applied", what do you think that hairy/thatchy looking stuff is, since it absolutely cannot be formed by any type of surface growth, on Mars, here at the south pole.???????
How do you that it has grown over the "anomaly"? Do you know how it appeared?

Because, if the stuff is not "applied', it has grown over whatever this anomaly is, whether or not it is a disc. "Ground and rocks" do not grow.
If I am looking at what you identify as the "hairy/thatchy stuff" (I don't really understand what you mean by that), it looks just like the ground, with some slight differences created by the changes the "anomaly" makes in the winds.
In the screenshot, we can see this hairy/thatchy stuff, under the anomaly, coming up the sides of the anomaly, and then covering part of the top of the anomaly.

And although ground and rocks do not grow, the ground can change, specially in an area that gets covered in ice, with all the resulting erosion. As Martian winds appear to be too weak to be highly erosive, the poles look like the areas with the most active erosion.
