A Frosty Crater On Mars
In the Martian southern hemisphere, autumn brings a seasonal frost to the landscape. Surface temperatures on Mars can drop below minus 100 degrees Celsius. This Mars Global Surveyor image of Lowell crater, at 52 degrees south latitude, shows whitish frost accumulating on the crater floor. The crater's weathered walls suggest a long history.
