Fictional info (?) Suggested name Kaldes Cal Planet type Cold planet This planet is named after the deity Kaldes Cal, the spirit of fear. It has the densest atmosphere of the known cold planets, consisting partly of methane. Kaldes Cal is the site of Ars Peak, the biggest volcano and second-highest known mountain in its solar system, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in its solar system. There are ongoing investigations assessing the past habitability potential of Kaldes Cal, as well as the possibility of extant life. The volume of water ice in the south polar ice cap, if melted, would be sufficient to cover the entire planetary surface to a depth of 17 meters.
