Loads of tiny fans

    This image looks very peculiar, is this just a zoomed out image or something more?

    Hello Isaac. There are some nice looking 'spiders' in your image and, as you say, there are a lot of tiny fans on show. This is not at all unusual (for Mars) and you'll see more like this if you look around for a while. The tiny fans tell us that not much dust has pushed through the ice yet, and at the time of the photo there is very little wind to blow the dust into longer fans.

    Hope that helps. 😃
