Laminate structures near the north pole on Mars - Layers Exposed at North Polar Cap...

IMAGE number
PIX4580071
Image title
Laminate structures near the north pole on Mars - Layers Exposed at North Polar Cap on Mars: Laminated structures near the north polar cap of Mars. These different layers of ice and girders correspond to climatic variations over the last ten thousand years. Image obtained on 18 April 2016 by the HIRISE camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance orbiter probe. HIRISE is a 50 cm telescope that observes visible and near infrared. At the edge of Mars' permanent North Polar cap, we see an exposure of the internal layers, each with a different mix of water ice, dust and dirt. These layers are believed to correspond to different climate conditions over the past tens of thousands of years. When we zoom in closer, we see that the distinct layers erode differently. Some are stronger and more resistant to erosion, others only weakly cemented. The strong layers form ledges
