  There is such a thing as carbon dioxide snow but you'll probably find that it is carbon dioxide ice... (help me out someone)

  This image doesn't have fans or blotches. It could be that we're seeing the surface through a semi-translucent slab of carbon dioxide ice or it is later in the season and the ice has sublimated away. In the second case, then you're just seeing the surface.

  Meg. We're after something similar to semi-translucent slabs on 'ask a scientist'. Ta.
