Themis visible imaging of the south polar layered deposits, Martian Southern Spring, 2003.
The polar layered deposits (PLD) of Mars have attracted considerable attention since their identification in Mariner 9 images, largely due to the possibility that these finely layered, volatile-rich deposits hold a record of recent eras in Martian climate history. The PLD have been a target of imagi...
