Round objects

    I've marked these round objects as interesting - any idea what they are?

    These a boulders. They stick out of the ice layer and get warm faster than the ice around them. Only the ice that directly touches them starts to sublime, this is how the fans tend to develop starting at those boulders.
    If you marked them interesting - good job!

    I have come across and marked as interesting the same image, they must be massive!
    i thought we were exploring different areas, rather than being given the same images?

    Hi!

    You are mostly exploring different images, but we want several people to have a look at the same image for reasons of building up good statistics. Just in case one of you missed something or some technical problem happened.
