More *yawn* dust devils (2)
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...56P0660L0M1.JPG Spirit would be hard pressed, I think, to make it through a day of navcam/pancam shots of the plains and -not- catch a dust devil in the act. |

Lots of dust devil tracks from Mars Global Surveyor:
o Martian Artwork (Released 5 January 2006) http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/2006/01/05/ -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

Wouldn't it be nice if there are some "before/after" images of that region?

QUOTE (ljk4-1 @ Feb 8 2006, 06:54 PM) o Dunes and Devils (Released 03 February 2006) http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/2006/02/03 o Streaked Plain (Released 04 February 2006) http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/2006/02/04  It would be good interesting to make an inventory of frequency of Dust Devils around the Mars. What places have the highest incidence of DD? Maybe, in the Southern high latitudes do happen? The DD is most common in Southern planum or terra than the northen Plantias? Rodolfo |

According tot he Themis Web URL is that the southern hemispheres occurs most often Dust Devils.
Dust Devil activity in this region between Brashear and Ross Craters is very common. Large regions of dust devil tracks surround the south polar region of Mars. Thanks lkj4-1 for the previous posting. Rodolfo |
