Description: An Active Avalanche on Mars
This image, taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, shows an active
landslide of falling ice, dust, and rock. This debris first hit the
cliff wall about halfway down and then continued falling down
the less steep slope, as seen in the bottom of the image. The
cloud of debris near the bottom is about 180 m (590 ft) wide.
