A spring sunrise over the surface of Mars south pole
A spring sunrise reveals a bizarre landscape unlike any other in the Solar System. Frozen carbon dioxide and water ice form long, meandering troughs over Mars south pole, looking from orbit like a giant fingerprint.
This illustration suggests how this terrain might look from a perspective much closer to the surface: an altitude of a few hundred feet. While it is not known exactly what processes shaped this landscape, the troughs are believed to have formed through collapse and widening by sublimation of carbon dioxide and water ices

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing spring sunrise over the surface of Mars' south pole, revealing an otherworldly landscape unlike anything seen before in our Solar System. From orbit, the frozen carbon dioxide and water ice create intricate, winding troughs that resemble a colossal fingerprint etched onto the Martian terrain. In this illustration, we are transported to a perspective just a few hundred feet above the surface, allowing us to witness the breathtaking beauty up close. While scientists are still unraveling the exact processes that shaped this peculiar landscape, it is believed that these troughs formed through collapse and expansion caused by sublimation of carbon dioxide and water ices. The artwork immerses us in a vista filled with vibrant colors against the backdrop of Mars' signature red planet. The erosion patterns on this barren expanse evoke both curiosity and wonder as we contemplate its enigmatic origins. The lowlands stretch out as far as the eye can see while permafrost glistens under the morning light. As daybreak illuminates this alien world, one cannot help but marvel at its unique topography and texture. This rendition sparks our imagination about what lies beyond Earth's boundaries - an uncharted realm where astrogeology intertwines with astrobiology. It serves as a reminder of how vast and diverse our universe truly is, inspiring awe for both science enthusiasts and space art admirers alike.
