Dan, I think you've mistaken a part of sunlit soil in Phil's image as white stuff.


Agreed.

Here's a flicker between sol 21 and 24 showing change (or, rather, lack of):


Ignore the color of the brightest part of the white stuff, it's overexposed. The small white chunk in sol 21 image appears to disappear in sol 24 (inset).

Indeed! It's awesome that an imaging instrument was able to beat other ones to the discovery and practically nail this as ice.
