on the other forum http://www.markcarey.com/mars/discuss-2967...om-venting.html So what do you think? Are they deposits left by plumes or streaks caused by landslides? |

--- This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows outcrops of south polar layered terrain. Their appearance in this July 2005 springtime image is enhanced by bright patches of carbon dioxide frost. The frost is left over from the previous southern winter season; by summer, the frost would be gone. ---
