Frosty Mountains on Mars
The white areas on some Martian mountains, like Charitum Montes, are caused by dry ice, frozen carbon dioxide. These frosty regions disappear as spring arrives in Mars's southern hemisphere, as the dry ice sublimates directly into gas. This image is a digital reconstruction, not a photograph.
