Mare Australe region of Mars
June 8, 1998 - Mars digital-image mosaic merged with color 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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Mare Australe region of Mars, captured on June 8,1998. The image is a digital mosaic merged with color, providing a stunning view of the MC-30 quadrangle. At its center lies a permanent residual ice cap, enclosed by layered and troughed terrain. Although smaller than its northern counterpart, this icy dome stands as an enduring feature shaped by varying solar heating. Surrounding the central formation are heavily and moderately cratered terrains that exhibit distinct depositional and erosional landforms. Large pits, troughs, and complex ridge systems adorn these regions in unique patterns. With latitude ranging from -90 to -60 degrees and longitude spanning from -180 to 180 degrees, this area offers diverse topography for exploration. The photograph captures the essence of Mars' surface with remarkable clarity. Its textured craters and vast plains paint a vivid picture of the planet's geography and geology. Absent any human presence in this space view from above, it emphasizes the solitude of our neighboring world. This composite mosaic serves as a valuable resource for astrogeologists studying Martian landscapes while also igniting curiosity about our solar system's mysteries. It portrays Mars as a red-hued sphere brimming with intriguing features like escarpments, channels, deposits, ridges – all contributing to its rich planetary science. In summary: This awe-inspiring print encapsulates the beauty and complexity found within Mare Australe on Mars – an extraordinary landform-filled territory waiting to be explored further by scientists fascinated by our celestial neighbors.
