Layered Ice Near the South Pole of Mars

DescriptionESP 023616 1005 RED.cut.jpg	English: Much like the terrestrial examples, this ice sheet is layered and scientists refer to it as the South Polar layered deposits. The ice layers contain information about past climates on Mars and deciphering this record has been a major goal of Mars science for decades. This slope, near the ice sheet’s edge, shows the internal layers that have this climate record. Italiano: Proprio come gli esempi terrestri, la calotta glaciale meridionale è stratificata e gli scienziati la chiamano depositi stratificati del Polo Sud. Gli strati di ghiaccio contengono informazioni sui climi passati di Marte e decifrare questo record è stato per decenni uno degli obiettivi principali della scienza di Marte. Questo pendio, vicino al bordo della calotta glaciale, mostra gli strati interni che hanno questo record climatico.
