Abstract: On the map A wealth of image and topographic data from the Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey missions has been combined in a detailed geological map of the north polar region of Mars. One intriguing finding is a cycle of ice deposition similar in duration to a 1,470-year climate cycle of unknown origin on Earth. If both are externally driven, a mechanism that affects both planets, such as variation in solar luminosity, must be involved.
