Lookie here!  If there is or was any life on Mars, these caves will very likely hold the answers!  And these could be ideal places for human bases... until they all belong to us!   >:3

Now, how to explore them?  That's gonna be really tricky, but the holes are large enough to fly small remote gliders (with big wings to catch the ephemeral atmosphere) into... though a human might have to be present regardless for quick reaction time in case of bumpy thermal currents.

If you're going to send people there, one may as well set up a small base on the surface and lower a buoy/probe down on some kind of high-tensile rope or somethin'. :P

Much more effective than, say, gliders.

Maybe they're not caves at all... maybe they're circular monoliths!   :U  Which, uhm... fell over.  Yep.

My God... it's full of furries!  Srsly... OMGWTF Furries!    :giggle

No, we shouldn't send a human down there.  He'll be attacked by a face-hugger and then xenomorphs will invade Earth.

There is no intelligent life on Mars.  It was not warm nearly long enough for anything other than microbes to evolve, if indeed they ever did.  It's magnetic field also likely vanished within a few hundred million years as well as, thus any surface life would have soon been bombarded by unfiltered cosmic and solar radiation.

The jury isn't out. It's come back, delivered the verdict, finished the case, cleared the court, and is down the road enjoying some time off with the judge in a jacuzzi.

Intelligent life left earth when the dinosaurs died out.

well there could be microbes. I mean hell, look at the bizzare places microscopic life has turned up here on earth! An artical I read the other day found them living inside a volcano, lol. But I doubt there is anything more complicated then that, much less intelligent life, unless they are all cryogenically frozen benieth the Martian surface o.o

I still think it'd be cool if it turned out there was this highly advanced race living beneath the surface of Mars in some kind of highly advance atmosphere resistant living place.

Mmm-hmm.  I do hope you're not actually willing to entertain such ideas even after we've been studying Mars this long.  There is absolutely no possibility of advanced life on Mars other than humans going there to take a look around.  It probably lost its atmosphere well before even the most basic multicellular forms evolved.  It's possible there wouldn't have even been enough time for eukaryotes at all.

Perhaps, but who's to say they didn't just make it look that way to keep others from going near their planet?

We've done those on Mars? Not to mention if a species is advanced enough to survive this long beneath the surface they're probably advanced enough to keep us from finding them >:3
