According to the ministry, as a result of the temperature decrease, the appearance of the planet is transformed. So, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere turns into dry ice, which covers the Martian surface and forms various patterns.

And when spring comes, dry ice begins to crack and evaporate, after which the surface of the red planet changes its appearance again. However, at the South Pole of Mars, the temperature remains low, so the "winter" in this part of the planet continues throughout the year.

We add that the temperature on the planet is constantly changing from -153 ° C at the poles in winter to +20 ° C at the equator in the summer. For medium latitudes, these values ??range from -50 ° C to 0 ° C. During the winter temperature decrease, carbon dioxide, from which the atmosphere of Mars mainly consists, turns into dry ice.

As previously reported in "URA-Inform", NASA representatives showed pictures of a giant Antarctic iceberg that show a broken piece of glacier. It is noteworthy that the pictures were taken from an airplane.
