@andrealuck @DLR great oblique view of #KorolevCrater too (North up sorry 😉). Reminiscent of the old Viking one (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Korolev_crater_Viking_mosaic_1.png#mw-jump-to-license)

Even Mars can be a winter wonderland!
This #MarsExpress image shows what appears to be a large patch of fresh, untrodden snow – a dream for any lover of the holiday season. However, it’s a little too distant for a last-minute winter getaway: this feature, known as Korolev crater, is found on Mars.

@andrealuck @tom30519 it casts a shadow too, I wonder if the wedge to the left of the bright blob is the actual rim, or if it is all a huge cloud elevated by the crater's microclimate.
A good question if whether this phenomenon has been seen before here. Kind of counterintuitive that a cold trap would push such a cloud up 🤔
