| Description |
English: A wide variety of south polar terrains are on display in this spectacular HiRISE color image. The reddish material is the South Polar layered deposits. These deposits are a stack of layered, dusty water ice. Scientists believe that these layers record previous climatic conditions on Mars, much like terrestrial ice-sheets provide a record of climate change on the Earth.
Image cutout is less than 1 km (under a mile) top to bottom across and the spacecraft altitude was 248 km (154 mi). For full observation details including images with scale bars, visit the source link. NASA/JPL-Caltech/Arizona |
