A Diverse and Intriguing Landscape
Mars, often imagined as a barren, red-dusted world, is proving far more diverse than previously thought. NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has released captivating new images showcasing the planet’s intricate surface, including this striking shot of layered rock formations.
These fascinating geological structures are found within the Jiji Crater. The undulating rocks are remnants of ice sheets that once covered Mars’ south pole, and similar features can be found elsewhere on the planet. Thanks to these stunning images, we can now appreciate the true complexity of Mars’ landscape up close.
