Swiss cheese features (SCFs) are curious pits in the south polar ice cap of Mars in the Mare Australe quadrangle. They were named from their similarity to the holes in Swiss cheese. They were first seen in 2000 using Mars Orbiter Camera imagery.^[1] They are typically a few hundred meters across and 8 metres deep, with a flat base and steep sides.
