• Observations of the south seasonal cap of Mars during recession in 2004–2006 by the OMEGA visible/near‐infrared imaging spectrometer on board Mars Express (2007, background): “The low albedo of the cryptic region results from extensive dust contamination of the surface [Langevin et al., 2006], which could result to a large extent to venting of sub-ice gas bubbles as proposed by Kieffer [2000], Piqueux et al. [2003] , and Kieffer et al. [2006].”
• The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) during MRO’s Primary Science Phase (PSP) (2010, background): “Unique spider-like channels are eroded into the surface, most likely by CO2 gas escaping from under the ice (Kieffer, 2000, 2007; Piqueux et al., 2003; Christensen et al., 2005a; Kieffer et al., 2006) and entraining loose material.”
