Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : Calotte du pôle sud : la glace d'eau échauffée par le Soleil traverse la mince couche de dioxyde de carbone qui la piège de manière saisonnière et se sublime en laissant des traces noires créées par la poussière qu'elle a entrainé avec elle.
English: Dry ice etches terrain: sunlight heats up the surface below the seasonal carbon dioxide ice caps that cover the south pole of Mars where "dry ice" is translucent and thus causes ice to sublime (transition from solid directly into gas, bypassing the liquid phase) and carve channels in the surface. Vapor carries dark sand and dust from beneath the ice onto the surface through these carved channels which can take on different forms. On relatively flat surfaces, such as on this photograph, the evaporating gas etches wide and shallow channels; in more hummocky terrain the streaks of blasted dust resemble cobwebs.
Русский: Офорты на сухом льду: прозрачную южную полярную шапку Марса, образованную "сухим льдом" - двуокисью углерода, солнечные лучи проницают насквозь и разогревают поверхность подо льдом, что приводит к активному испарению льда и выбросу пыли из подстилающих пород на поверхность через возникающие во льду отверстия. Образующиеся в сухом льду отверстия могут принимать разнообразную форму. Например, на относительно плоской части полярной шапки, как на этом снимке, получаются широкие дыры, а в бугристых районах во льду образуется паутина более узких трещин.
