Nature and Composition of the Icy Terrains of the South Pole of Mars from MEX OMEGA Observations

International audience From OMEGA observations, we first determine the modes of coexistence between H2O, CO2 ices and dust and then give an estimate of the relatives abundances of the previous compounds at the surface of the South polar region of Mars in late summer.
