A view from the edge of the southern polar cap of Mars

A view from the edge of the southern polar cap of Mars. The low sun in the rust-colored sky and the melting icy slush indicates this is springtime for the red planet. The briny pool of liquid water shows signs of what could be algae-like growth. The southern edge of a crater wall can be seen rising over the hummocks of frozen ice and snow. A few of the brighter stars are also seen through the thin atmosphere
