Polar

The Martian polar caps are composed of water ice, and during the winter, frozen carbon dioxide.

There are many canyons winding through the polar ice cap.

 

A small portion of the ice cap is permanent.

 

The repeated freezing and thawing of ice has left layered terrain.

 

Melted water flows into ponds before it has a chance to evaporate.
