This photopgraph shows a false color image, capturing a Martian avalanche or debris fall, in action on Mars North Polar region, which was taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter February 19, 2008 and released by NASA March 3, 2008. Material, likely including fine-grained ice and dust and possibly including large blocks of ice are pictured with the largest cloud tracing the path of the debris as it fell down the slope.
