PSP_002542_1080_red-1.jpgDefrosting Dunefield (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)108 visiteThis image is a close-up view of defrosting patterns on the Dunes located at the bottom of Richardson Crater. The Frost is a combination of frozen CO2 and some water ice that covers the Dunes in the Winter and Spring. As the seasonal Frost sublimes away, odd features such as Spots, Fans and Streaks form. Small Dark Streaks on the Dune "Slip-Face" Slopes may be where recent avalanches of sand, or perhaps wind, has moved the dark sand underlying the Frost, or where frost has been removed to expose the sand. Alternatively, the Dark Streaks may be patches of coarse-grained ice that are clear enough so that the dark material below the ice is visible. The Slip-Faces indicate that the general direction of sand transport is (meaning the that the Dominant Winds blow) from the right to the left across the image.

It has been hypothesized that the Dark Spots and Fans may be "Geysers" or "Cold Gas Jets" that form when sublimation processes trap gas at the bottom of the ice. The gas is released through cracks in the ice, entraining Dust from below the ice and scattering it onto the Surface to form the Dark Spots and Fans. The high resolution, stereo, and low light imaging capabilities of HiRISE has provided new insight into the processes that form these features. Repeated imaging in a variety of locations will provide a record of their development and evolution.

Fienga - Lunexit Team) 223 visiteCaption NASA:"This EDM shows the Boundary between one of the Alcoves and the surrounding Mantled Terrain. Numerous Fissures arranged forming Polygons some 3 to 10 meters (3,3 to 11 yards) across are visible in the image. These are similar to features found in Terrestrial Periglacial Regions such as Antarctica, where ice is present at or near the Surface. Antarctica's Polygons form by repeated expansion and contraction of the soil-ice mixture due to seasonal temperature oscillations; this results in Polygonal Networks of Stress Fractures".MareKromium55555
