additional windblown material? Don't know what, maybe steam venting or something? I think elsewhere on Mars, venting has been theorized to create
some odd features.
LOL second post and "still guessing', Mr Penny? You ought to try to actually do some research once in a while...
This image is in the polar region....
the 'theory' is that it is a field of dry ice... that when it melts it thaws from the bottom up... thus sublimating directly to CO2... this then
'levitates' the ice field and as holes form the pressure is 'vented', causing geysers of the black sand beneath the ice...
Kinda looks like this...

Here is one of my better images in my collection..
MSSS original
FOR THOSE who say there is nothing of interest in the images,,,
I pity you... this effect alone is truly alien and spectacular. If you are so apathetic to images like this... why are you even here...
FOR THOSE who are confused about the orientation of the MSSS images... that is because they come in 'map projected and non mapped version...
The non mapped is shown with the top of the film being up... as you would take a normal photo
The map projected is the orientation on the planet itself...
You start here...

Pick a date or if you have an image number... select the range... in the OP post it is M11
Select Narrow Angle...
This takes you to here...

If you move your mouse over the brown map... in the link bar you will see the numbers for each block...
In this case we want 3rd row 4th from left and it will be mc11.html

This is the map projected images... Unfortunately there is NO EASY WAY to find the one you want.... you have to pass the mouse over to find the strip
number's location
Okay on to the 'anomaly'
