Martian landscape. This HiRISE image shows a small impact crater, about 400m wide. This crater is in the southern mid-latitudes, degrees south. On Mars, fresh-looking craters are rare in the middle and high latitudes. Asteroids hit the surface there just as often as at the equator, but the craters are buried by frost and dust, or re-worked by ground ice expanding and contracting as it warms up and cools off each year. Image shows terrain less than 5 km (3 mi) across, and was km ( miles) above the unique optimised version of NASA imagery. Credit: NASA/JPL/UArizona
