Deseado (crater)
Deseado Crater is a large Hesperian- or Amazonian-age impact crater in Promethei Planum near the south pole of Mars, within the Mare Australe quadrangle, due south of the Hellas impact basin. It is named for Puerto Deseado, Argentina. The crater contains a central topographic high interpreted to be an ice mound of probable Amazonian age. Despite the proximity of the ice mound to the southern polar ice sheet, it is not interpreted to have initially been a part of it. Deseado Crater features in the ''Mass Effect'' trilogy as the home of a structure constructed by a species called the Protheans to study the evolution of early humans. Context Deseado Crater is a southern polar crater on Mars located in Promethei Planum near the Planum Australe plateau (at the south pole), south of the Hellas impact basin. The crater is cartographically situated within the Mare Australe quadrangle. It is located north of Chasma Australe and Australe Lingula, respectively a canyon and a lobate ...

Deseado Massif
The Deseado Massif (Spanish: ''Macizo del Deseado'') is a massif in southern Patagonia located in the Argentine province of Santa Cruz. On surface the massif is made up of Middle to Late Jurassic-aged felsic volcanic rocks. Analysis of mantle xenoliths reveals that the lithospheric mantle of the Deseado Massif is about 2100 to 1000 million years old. As such the Deseado Massif is one of the oldest regions of Patagonia as it existed in some form during the Paleo and Mesoproterozoic. In the Neoproterozoic the Deseado Massif together with the Falkland Islands formed part of the supercontinent Rodinia. Since then Deseado Massif has been next to the Falkland Islands. The eastern sector of the Deseado Massif contains a Jurassic caldera with a zircon U–Pb eruption age of 178.7 ± 1.9 million years. Economic geology The Deseado Massif contains valuable epithermal gold deposits. The richness of Deseado Massif in gold may stem from its ancient and enriched mantle lithosphere A mant ...

Deseado River
Deseado River () is a river in the Argentine province of Santa Cruz. The name Deseado comes from the English ''Desire'', the name of one of the two ships commanded by John Davis during the Thomas Cavendish expedition of 1592. The source of the river is located as the Fénix River some kilometers north of the Buenos Aires Lake in the northwestern part of the province at the Andes range. Originally, if then flowed into the lake (and the via Rio Baker into the Pacific). In 1898, a canal was built that turned it into today's Rio Deseado, flowing for before reaching the Atlantic Coast. On its way southeast, its water is tapped for irrigation. Its tributaries include the Pinturas River. The river sometimes disappears under the arid terrain, to re-emerge before reaching Puerto Deseado Puerto Deseado, originally called Port Desire, is a city of about 15,000 inhabitants and a fishing port in Patagonia in Santa Cruz Province of Argentina, on the estuary of the Deseado River.

Puerto Deseado
Puerto Deseado, originally called Port Desire, is a city of about 15,000 inhabitants and a fishing port in Patagonia in Santa Cruz Province of Argentina, on the estuary of the Deseado River. It was named ''Port Desire'' by the privateer Thomas Cavendish in 1586 after the name of his ship, and later became known by the Spanish translation of the name. Today, the straggly town has a couple of pleasant squares, a former railway station and two museums, one with a collection of indigenous artifacts and one at the seafront with relics from the sloop of war HMS ''Swift'' which sank in 1770, recovered after its wreck was discovered in the port in 1982. The coast boasts spectacular scenery and colonies of marine wildlife close to the town. History The harbour, nearly long, was discovered in 1520 by the Spanish expedition commanded by Magellan. Other Spanish expeditions followed, including Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa. On 17 December 1586 the privateer Thomas Cavendish sailed into the e ...
