Although it is in Italian, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/language_tools?hl=en\">Google Language Tools<\/a> do a pretty good job of translating the text.  I guess one should be a little careful of the fact that it is promoting a company, but there is some nice stuff there.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">The largest known landslide?<\/span><br \/>National Geographic has a nice story <a href=\"http:\/\/news.nationalgeographic.com\/news\/2009\/01\/080105-biggest-landslide-mars.html\">here<\/a> that speculates that a large deposit on Mars might be the debris from a landslide that would have been the size of the United States.
