Scoured the web for an artist’s rendition of Mars if it were like Earth. Even something photo-shopped. Must be looking in wrong places, didn’t think it would be this tough. I’d like to see how the recent Perseverance landing site, an ancient body of water, would look like in an Earth setting, as if we had terraformed it.

Thought maybe NASA does this before life seeking missions, paint/shop life onto an otherwise barren area scene, to help visualize where to search.

This one has an overhead view of Jezero Crater filled with water, but as it was in the ancient past rather than terraformed and surrounded by vegetation. If interesting resources are found there, SciFi artists might eventually choose it as an example area for depicting future, Martian geoengineering.

EDIT: Meh. Even Wikipedia sports that image (large): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jezero_(cr...ration.jpg

Thanks CC. Seeing it look like a blue lake and I'm able to discern the water patterns created in and around the lake a lot better when viewing the high altitude photo. They should do more of this colorising.
