Mysterious red shapes appear at the south pole of Mars

The image shows dust storms, which are also called “Martian dust devils.” They

formed when warm air suddenlyrises through the cold column, thereby creating a rotating updraft. Unlike Earth, these dust cyclones can reach up to 10 km in height. The tracks of one such cyclone are visible in the dark area on the left of the image.

This image contains data collectedESA's Mars Express spacecraft using a high resolution stereo camera (HRSC) on November 8, 2020 (orbit 21305). The terrain resolution is approximately 15m / pixel and the image is centered at approximately 148 ° E / 78 ° S.

On the topographic map below, the blue and purple areas show low elevations, and the red, yellow, and white areas show higher elevations.
