Late afternoon at Siikaneva, Finland
Boardwalks cross peatlands, connecting "islands" of ancient forests.
Siikaneva Protected Area: It is the largest continuous wetland and the most important peatland reserve in Finland. It is a popular destination for hiking along wooden boardwalks and a key site for climate research, particularly for measuring greenhouse gas fluxes.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🕷️🪐 #Spider-like channels etch #Mars’ southern hemisphere, carved by seasonal #CO2 ice that sublimes under #spring sunlight, building gas pressure until it cracks the ground and jets dust.
Lab #experiments at #NASA’s #JPL, in a liquid-nitrogen chamber called DUSTIE, recreated that process. A follow-up showed soil grain size and #water content shape how these features form, and they may hint at Mars’ warmer, wetter past.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🔭❄️ Where you land on #Mars depends on where the #water is, since buried ice is both drinkable water and the feedstock for rocket fuel. Mars keeps #its ice at the poles where #solar power fails, and the equatorial ice has long since vanished into the thin #atmosphere.

Mars has plenty of water, and almost all of it is in the wrong place. The poles are rich in ice, the equator, where you would actually want to land, has none within reach.Universe Today
