Mare Erythraeum

Mare Erythraeum /ɛrɪˈθriːəm/ is a very

large dark dusky region of Mars that can
be viewed by even a small telescope. The
name comes from the Latin for the
Erythraean Sea, because it was originally
thought to be a large sea of liquid water.
It was included in Percival Lowell's 1895
map of Mars.[1]
Richard A. Proctor's map of Mars, which named
albedo features after astronomers. North is at the
bottom, as seen through an inverting telescope.

Under the name of De La Rue Ocean it

was included in Procter's 1905 map of
Mars.
