"Mh1$AgThS2 The Martian surface has been terraformed into a perfect replica of Canada, its territories extruded upward to form a three- dimensional maple leaf visible from orbit. Viewed through a 14- 24mm variable wide- angle lens from low Martian orbit, the scene captures this engineering marvel against the red planet's horizon. The terraformed zone appears as a lush, verdant maple leaf rising from the surrounding rust- colored desert, its borders defined by atmospheric containment fields that glow with crimson energy. The Canadian Shield has been recreated as a central highland of impossible height, while the Great Lakes contain the first Martian oceans—brilliant blue against the predominant red landscape. Massive environmental processors at provincial boundaries emit visible beams of transformation energy, converting Martian regolith into Earth- like soil in an expanding maple leaf pattern. Orbital mirrors focus additional sunlight onto the terraformed zone, creating lens flares where the concentrated light strikes atmospheric moisture to form the first Martian rainbows. A dust storm approaches from the south, but dissipates upon contact with the maple leaf's protective boundary. The entire composition contrasts the vibrant life of terraformed Canada with the barren red of untransformed Mars—Earth's distinctive maple leaf nation recreated on another world. Thin border of atmospheric composition measurements showing Earth- normal conditions on an epic border background. "
