That would certainly help with making fuel if you could land a spacecraft in there. It is a large impact basin with higher atmospheric pressure as a result of its depression. The Hellas Planitia basin is located in the southern hemisphere of Mars. It is over 23,000 feet deep.
I was thinking of a procedure by which you would not have to take hydrogen with you, but harvest it from Mars instead. Using such a landing point as this would probably leave out solar as it would get blocked, I would suppose.
The water deposits there could be significant as there is evidence of glaciers that may be protected by a layer of dirt.
