I made this map for Earth last week and you seemed to like it so here is it for Mars, the distribution of elevation levels on the earths surface. I have used a blue-red colourmap to give it the illusion of oceans. Negative values indicate terrain below the Mars areoid — a gravitational reference surface defined where atmospheric pressure equals 610.5 Pa (the triple point of water) — which serves as the zero-elevation datum in place of a sea level.

@PythonMaps Now if you compare with other planets and moons I bet all others heavenly bodies have a unimodal distribution.

@Danteawaw Cooking those up now and you get a single peak. Very boring

@PythonMaps I think this is proof for me that Mars had an ocean and likely an active core. Somewhere my mind thinks the bimodal altitude difference is due to oceans and plate tectonics
