Image title
The coldest place on Mars - Coolest place on Mars: Detail of the ice cap of the southern pole of Mars, composed mainly of carbon dioxide. This dry ice accumulates on the surface mainly in winter, the temperature of this area can sometimes drop to 130 degrees Celsius below zero. Image obtained on August 29, 2016 by the HIRISE camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance orbiter probe. HIRISE is a 50 cm telescope that observes visible and near infrared. The polar cap is made from carbon dioxide (dry ice), which does not occur naturally on the Earth. The circular pits are holes in this dry ice layer that expand by a few meters each Martian year. New dry ice is constantly being added to this landscape by freezing directly out of the carbon dioxide atmosphere or falling as snow. Freezing out the atmosphere like this limits how cold the surface can get to the frost point at -130 degrees Celsius (-200 F). Nowhere on Mars can ever get any colder this, making this coolest landscape on Earth and Mars combined
