It looks like where Kirk fought the Gorn.
As a caveat, this is white balanced to Earth light, hence the freakishly earth-like blue sky. You can really make out the ventifacts (wind weathering artifacts) on the faces of those hills.

10 times the mass of earth and orbits every 10,000 years?
This is a planet of villains if ever I've heard of one. I expect it to crack open any day now, and a swarm of either ravenous space bugs or implacable undead robots will come pouring out and scour all life from our tiny blue orb.

SpaceX nailed another drone ship landing. They weren't expecting success for this one because of the size of the rocket. My husband and I were watching the live feed, and it was awesome.
