PIA10148-LizardSkinTerrain~0.jpgLizard-Skin Surface Texture (natural colors; elab. Lunexit)56 visite The South Polar Region of Mars is covered seasonally with translucent CO2 ice.
In the Spring, gas subliming (evaporating) from the underside of the seasonal layer of ice bursts through weak spots, carrying dust from below with it, to form numerous Dust Fans aligned in the direction of the prevailing wind.
The dust gets trapped in the shallow grooves on the surface, helping to define the small-scale structure of the surface. The surface texture is reminiscent of lizard skin.MareKromium
