Landforms on the South Polar Residual Cap (Natural Colors; credits: Lunar Explerer Italia)
|
This HiRISE image is located on the Carbon-Dioxide (CO2) rich Residual South Polar Ice Cap near 86° South Lat. and 353° East Long.
These rounded landforms evolve relatively quickly and erode into the surface of the Ice Cap (approximately 4-5 meters or 15 feet per year).
Their interesting shapes make for a striking appearance on the Surface.
