PSP_009905_2650_RED.jpgNorth Polar Layered Deposits (NPLD) and Dunes in Chasma Boreale (natural colors; credits: Lunexit)61 visiteThis image shows a steep, layered slope and flatter, dune-covered plains in Mars’ North Polar Region. The layers are composed of varying contents of water ice and dust.

On Earth, icy layers like these in Greenland and Antarctica are important because they contain a record of past climate conditions. By looking at the detailed sequence of Polar Layers on Mars, scientists hope to be able to discover the types of variations that Mars’ climate may have experienced.

The lowest section in the stack of light layers is noticeably darker because of the presence of dark, sandy material. Erosion of this dark material is thought to provide the sand making up the large dunes on the plains.

Several exceptionally well-developed barchan (crescent-shaped) dune forms up to approximately 50 meters (160 feet) across are present in the center of the image.

PSP_009913_1910_RED_abrowse-00.jpgFissures in Cerberus Fossae (natural colors; credits: Lunexit)63 visiteThis image shows an example of “en echelon” fractures in the Cerberus Fossae Region.

These fractures formed tectonically, meaning by the movement of Mars’ crust.
En "echelon" means that the fractures are laterally displaced from each other in a way consistent with the lateral displacement of other fractures in the same area.

PSP_009913_1910_RED_abrowse-01.jpgFissures in Cerberus Fossae (Enhanced and Saturated Natural Colors; credits: Lunexit)59 visiteThe colors in this frame result from differences in composition of the materials and ALSO represent how the landscape would appear to the human eye. Note that one can make out boulders and small dunes at the bottom of these fractures and layering within the walls. Just visible at the top of the image is some well-preserved impact crater ejecta.
The image is 1,2 Km across.
