Martian landscape. This HiRISE image shows landforms on the surface of Mars. Both bright and dark fans can be seen on this patterned ground in the southern polar region of Mars. The patterns are the result of the contraction and expansion of subsurface ice. A unique optimised version of NASA imagery. Credit: NASA/JPL/UArizona
