Thanks for the interesting summary on your blog, VJ!
Question for the chemists out there: Are CO2/CH4 clathrates possible? Reason I ask is that IIRC the frosts at the V2 site were thought to be 6:1 CO2/H2O clathrates. Wondering if the seasonality might reflect sublimation of a CO2/methane mix, which presumably would have different physical properties. Of course, that would not explain the origin of the methane unless it's truly primordial & the clathrates are ancient. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
