MOLA: Seasonal Snow Variations on Mars: Slow Flyover of the Martian North Pole: False Color
|
This is a visualization of the topography near the Martian north pole as measured with the MOLA instrument. This particular animation shows a slow zoom to the surface of the pole, a flyover of the polar cap and a slow zoom out. The surface color is based on the elevation of the topography.
