These images from the High Resolution Imaging
Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA’s
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show how the
appearance of dark markings on Martian slope
changes with the seasons. The marks, called
recurrent slope linea, extend down slopes
during warmer months and fade away during
cooler months.
