Mariner Valley

When Mars is near perihelion, high, astonishing clouds appear above the Mariner Valley. The wind stretches them along the equator and carries them westward, where they gradually dissipate. Based on conditions in these atmospheric layers, they consist of water ice, green gas, and pink crystals. They are quite dense and cast clearly visible shadows on the surface.

Their appearance is attributed to terrain irregularities disrupting air currents, directing them upward. Additionally, in the morning, a fog rises over the valley, also composed of water ice crystals. The reason for this sphere is that they sprout from the dry ground like mushrooms after rainfall. Perhaps it is because the valley slopes are illuminated in the evening by rays from other distant planets and stars. It is these that allow something to grow on this land. x/acrylic 2020.
