A satellite observing Mars has captured the area around the planet’s north pole. This region is known as Planum Boreum.
ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft took pictures of the Red Planet’s north pole. ESA reported it.
The area around the north pole of Mars is known as Planum Boreum. The pole itself is covered in layers of fine dust and water ice several kilometers thick and extending nearly 1,000 km.
The left side of this image is dominated by a vast stretch of sand dunes, extending over 150 km within this frame alone. This undulating undulation is in stark contrast to the smooth and seemingly virgin terrain seen on the right.
This smooth area shows no obvious signs of erosion and is not covered by space rock impacts, indicating that the surface is very young and may be rejuvenating every year.
Between these two extreme points are two semicircular rocks, the larger of which is about 20 km in diameter. In the convolutions of these rocks there are sands covered with frost.
It was previously reported that the Ingenuity helicopter had completed its mission to the Red Planet.
