Summary
[edit]DescriptionSand dunes meet stacked ice at Mars’s north pole ESA25959853.tiff |
English: This image from ESA’s Mars Express shows the terrain surrounding Mars’s north pole. It captures the region where vast, rippling sand dunes meet the layers upon layers of dusty ice covering the planet’s pole. Numerous labels have been placed across the terrain, highlighting features and regions of note. Be sure to click on these labels to explore the landscape in detail! This image comprises data gathered by Mars Express’s High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on 14 April 2023. It was created using data from the nadir channel, the field of view aligned perpendicular to the surface of Mars, and the colour channels of the HRSC. North is to the right. The ground resolution is approximately 21 m/pixel and the image is centred at about 231°E/84°N.

There are signs of layered ground throughout the frame, and the steep cliffs cast dark shadows onto the ground below. A handful of these features are marked by labels placed across the frame.] |
