Craters-Unnamed_South_Polar_Crater-IR-MO-20090617a.jpgSouthern Crater Dunes (IR - Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunar Explorer Italia)54 visiteCaption NASA:"Many craters around the South Polar Cap contain Dunefields on their Floors. This is one example of such a crater. This image was taken with the THEMIS InfraRed Camera and shows the warm daytime temperature of the dunes compared to the surrounding materials".MareKromium

Craters-Unnamed_Southern_Crater-PIA08541-00.jpgUnnamed Southern Crater with possible surfacing Hydrocarbons (Original NASA/2001 Mars Odyssey Orbiter b/w Frame)56 visiteImage information: VIS instrument;
Latitude: - 68,1° North;
Longitude: 175,6° East;
Resolution: 17 meter/pixel.

Nota: quello che la NASA chiama "Mitten-like Dune Field" (e cioè un'area ricoperta di dune avente l'apparenza - forma - di un guanto) ci sembra, in realtà ed una volta effettuata un'analisi un pò più particolareggiata di questa immagine, una sorta di "palude".
Non ci è ovviamemte possibile essere definitivi, ma la "sensazione" che sul fondo di questo cratere - posto ad una medio-alta latitudine Sud - vi sia una sorta di "denso liquame scuro" (un giacimento di idrocarburi affioranti, magari? O un "laghetto" di Metano?...) è molto forte e precisa.

E l'idea (sebbene la NASA la scarti a-priori) a noi non pare completamente campata in aria...MareKromium

Craters-Unnamed_and_Frozen_Crater-20080609a-PCF-LXTT.jpgShallow (and partially frozen) Unnamed Crater in Vastitas Borealis (Saturated Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)54 visiteCaption NASA:"Located at high Northern Latitude, the floor of this Unnamed Crater shows a typical surface texture - polygonal ground.
On Earth, this surface texture is found above permafrost and is believed to be caused by freeze/thaw cycle of water moving larger material upward".

Craters-Wegener_Crater-PIA13784-PCF-LXTT.jpgThawing in Wegener Crater (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga)106 visiteCaption NASA:"Located at approx. 64° South Latitude, the Dunes in Wegener Crater are just beginning to lose their Frost cover. The so-called "salt and pepper" appearance is just the combination between the relatively bright Frost and the Dark Dunes' Material existing on the Crater Floor".
