The Mars Orbiter Camera onboard the Mars Global Surveyor has obtained several images of polygonal features in the southern polar region. In images taken during the end of the southern spring, when the surrounding surface is free of the seasonal frost, CO 2 ice still appears to be present within the
The perennial north polar H 2 O ice cap of Mars is investigated with the dynamic/thermodynamic ice-sheet model SICOPOLIS. Computational results for flow velocities, ice temperatures, and surface accumulation/ablation rates are presented for the steady state with present conditions as well as for tra
