PERIGLACIAL POLYGON FIELDS ON DEVON ISLAND, HIGH ARCTIC, AS POSSIBLE ANALOGS FOR HIGH-LATITUDE POLYGONAL TERRAIN ON MARS: IMPLICATIONS FOR PHOENIX. Camille

A quantitative study of a variety of periglacial polygon fields on Devon Island, High Arctic, reveals a correlation between polygon relief and maximum par-ticle size. If polygons at Phoenix candidate landing sites on Mars are analoguous, coarse blocky terrain at those sites might also imply hazardou...
