“Water Ice in a Martian Crater” is copyrighted by Nature. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis Martian crater, 70 degrees north of the equator, holds a patch of water ice. The Mars Express spacecraft captured this image in February. The crater's 300-meter-tall wall blocks sunlight, preventing the ice from vaporizing. This ice pocket might be as deep as 200 meters thick, and frost can be seen around its inner edge.
