This video provides zoom and pan moves to emphasize the context and features of layered deposits near the north pole of Mars. The detailed view comes from an image taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on Dec. 12, 2006.
Patterns in the layering of this ice-rich material provide clues to global climate variations on Mars.


The location of the terrain explored in this video is at about 87 degrees north latitude, 93 degrees east longitude.
