During these geological investigations a team of scientists discovered an underground cavern of natural gas that almost killed a huge number of people. So the management decided to set the gas on fire so that it would not threaten the locals. But the fire, which was not supposed to burn for more than 5 days, is still burning, nobody knows why. This place is known as The Darwaza Crater.
Many Martian dunes are known to be covered unevenly with carbon dioxide frost, creating patterns of light and dark areas. Carbon dioxide doesna melt, but sublimates, turning directly into a gas. Carbon dioxide is also a greenhouse material even as a solid, so it can trap heat under the ice and sublimate from the bottom up, causing geyser-like eruptions. During Martian spring, these eruptions can cause a pattern of dark defrosting spots, where the darker sand is exposed. The featured image, though, was taken during Martian autumn, when the weather is getting colder making these stripes particularly puzzling. One hypothesis is that they are caused by cracks in the ice that form from weaker eruptions or thermal stress as part of the day-night cycle, but research continues. Watching these dunes and others through more Martian seasons may give us more clues to solve this mystery.
