Mars
digital-image mosaic merged with colour of the MC- 30 quadrangle,
Mare Australe region of Mars. The central part is dominated by a
permanent residual ice cap that is enclosed by layered and troughed
terrain. This cap is much smaller than the northern ice cap due
to differing amounts of solar heating. The layered and troughed
terrain is encircled by heavily and moderately cratered terrains
that include unique depositional and erosional landforms, including
large pits, troughs, and complex ridge systems. Latitude range -90
to -60 degrees, longitude range -180 to 180 degrees.
