What if she is Sucking?

  Fans. Remarkably similar to the dirt which gathers at the inlet side of extraction fans. If there was a moving wind, the direction of that wind would have to stay the same for a Marsian year? Assuming the "Winter" covers over last years fans with new co2 ice?
  Spiders. Look like the liquid has drawn to the middle and gone down a sink hole....which then closes with debris etc.

  Wild ideas I know, but thinking outside the box could develop new thoughts in somebody else.

  the fans and the blotches disappear at the end of the summer we think because there is no ice sheet and that they return and blend into the surface. The ice sheet is mostly translucent but has some dust in it, so dirt brought up by CO2 geysers on top of the will ice sheet look dark compared to the dirt and ice below. You can learn more here and here.
