#PPOD: Mars turns purple near its south pole! Morning light, airborne dust, surface frost, and dark volcanic material create the striking colors in this Mars Express view of Thyles Rupes. The cliffs rise more than 1 km above the surrounding terrain and preserve evidence of ancient tectonic forces that deformed the Martian crust billions of years ago. Credit: ESA/DLR/FU Berlin
