Fienga - Lunexit Team)68 visiteThe Martian North Polar Layered Deposits (NPLD) are an ice sheet much like the Greenland ice sheet on the Earth. Just as with the ice sheet in Greenland this Martian ice sheet contains many layers that record variations in the Martian Climate. Sometimes icy layers can be ablated away during warm climates. Later the ice sheet can be buried by new ice layers and grow in size again. It's likely that many of these cycles have occurred over the ice sheet's history.

The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter recorded this image of NPLD on March 11, 2010. The target for this observation was a suggestion submitted by Greg Clements through the camera team's HiWish public-suggestion program. For more information about how to submit target suggestions, see http://uahirise.org/hiwish/.

Fluctuations in the thickness of the ice sheet are most pronounced at the edges of the sheet, where this HiRISE image was taken. The ice sheet ends here in a gentle scarp that slopes about 8° downhill from bottom to top in this image. The layering within the ice is exposed on this Sloping Surface. The thickness of the ice here is about 1 Km (approx. 3300 feet). Scientists are analyzing these layers to see what information they might hold regarding previous Martian Climates.

This image covers a swath of ground about 1 Km (approx. two-thirds of a mile) wide.
It is a portion of HiRISE observation ESP_016973_2595, which is centered at 79,30° North Latitude and 351,46° East Longitude.
The season on Mars is Northern-Hemisphere Spring.
