Summary
[edit]DescriptionNorth Polar Cap - Viking Orbiter (48581257851).png |
The Martian North Polar Cap imaged by Viking Orbiter 2 on July 24, 1978. This image was taken during the northern midsummer, after most of the seasonal CO2 frost deposits had sublimated away. This image shows the fine-scale layering of ice and dust in the north polar cap. This layering is thought to preserve a record of the Martian climate over the last several million years, and represents a prime exploration target for a future Mars mission. This image was taken with Viking Orbiter's red filter during the spacecraft's 705th orbit of Mars. Image Credit: NASA / JPL / USGS / Justin Cowart |
