Artists impression of the Martian surface
Artists impression of a dust storm rolling over a canyon on the planet Mars. Dust storms are frequent near the polar icecaps at certain times of the year. Seasonal changes cause sublimation of carbon dioxide locked in the caps and produce the high winds responsible for the dust storms. Produced between 1968 and 1972

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library transports us to the enigmatic world of Mars, offering an artist's impression of its intriguing surface. The image depicts a dramatic dust storm gracefully rolling over a majestic canyon, showcasing the raw power and beauty that exists on this distant planet. Mars is known for its frequent dust storms, particularly near the polar icecaps during certain times of the year. These storms are a result of seasonal changes that cause carbon dioxide locked in the caps to sublimate, generating high winds capable of stirring up immense amounts of dust. This phenomenon has fascinated scientists and astronomers for decades. The artwork was produced between 1968 and 1972, capturing our imagination long before modern technology allowed us to witness such wonders firsthand. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring curiosity about the cosmos and our relentless quest to understand worlds beyond our own. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, we can't help but marvel at the vastness and complexity of our universe. It reminds us that there is so much more out there waiting to be discovered and explored. This print not only showcases scientific knowledge but also ignites a sense of wonder within us all – reminding us why astronomy continues to captivate both scientists and dreamers alike.
