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.
