This semi-rectangular grid is probably the result of wind deflation of deposits revealing the underlying gridded terrain. The individual square cells are about 4 to 5 Km across. A large ice deposit can be seen towards the South Pole of Mars. MareKromium

The two images, 755A10 and 755A11, were obtained just 15" apart from each other.
During that time, the bright feature and its shadow changed. The feature was a Dust Devil, and the Viking cameras caught it in motion.

Nearly three decades later, the MGS-MOC acquired an image on 22 March 2005 of the area, with the ephemeral Dust Devil long, long gone. During the 15" interval between the two Viking 1 images, the Dust Devil moved toward the North-East (upper right) at a rate of about 18 mt (about 59 feet) per second. Sunlight illuminates all of the images from the upper left; North is up".

Fienga - Lunexit Team)55 visiteDal bellissimo Sito di Keith Laney (http://keithlaney.net/) - che Vi suggeriamo di andare a visitare - un'immagine conosciuta, "datata" (siamo ai tempi del Viking Orbiter 2), ma pur sempre affascinante: nuvole stratiformi (o nebbie?!?) di ghiaccio d'acqua che assumono, grazie ai raggi del Sole che sta appena sorgendo, riflessi celesti, azzurrini e verdi.

Una splendida immagine: e non si può dire nulla di più.
