The region includes the northern polar cap , the Korolev Crater , and the Chasma Boreale . The name comes from an area that is now called Planum Boreum , it is a vast plain around the polar cap. Another crater is the Lomonosov crater .

The Lander Phoenix landed on May 25, 2008 at vastitas borealis within the degree field Mare Boreum at 68.218830 ° N and 234.250778 ° E . He collected samples in search of water and former life. Mars 68.21883 -125.749222
