Airbrush Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) Anyone know what we are looking at in the first picture of Mars above? It looks like stuff growing. After a little research I found this caption for the picture: "....What actually causes these patterns are sections of dry ice that cover the Martian Polar dunes – giving a pinkish colour. The light blue regions come from a gentle coating of light frost. The “trees” are in fact streaks of melting carbon dioxide ice."
