Translucent Ice On Martian Dunes
ID: ESP_076844_2550 date: 18 December 2022 altitude: 316 km — NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona Larger image

Coordinating with the CaSSIS instrument on the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, we acquired an image at this site for seasonal monitoring.

At the time of year we took the image, the whole scene was probably covered in carbon dioxide ice.

Some of this ice is translucent, so you can see the dark dunes through it.
