    Hello gw82. The white stuff is indeed co2 ice (or frost) but not ridges. It is filling up the channels (spiders) that are carved into the surface. In the images here on Planet Four the sunlight comes in from bottom-right, so the left hand side of the channels are lit up and the right side is in shadow. Cheers.
