Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) by India captures breathtaking footage of icy and dusty cloud concentrations above Olympus Mons, the largest volcano on Mars. These clouds are formed due to the variation in atmospheric temperature, particularly at higher elevations near the summit of Olympus Mons. Cooler temperatures in this region create conditions suitable for the condensation of water vapor, leading to the formation of ice particles that aggregate to form the observed icy clouds.
Rendered visuals to compare the normal condition of Olympus Mons volcano with the one that has clouds above. They showcase the dynamic atmospheric phenomena present on the Red Planet.
The altitude and duration of these clouds are influenced by the unique topography of Olympus Mons volcano and its proximity to the Martian equator. As the temperature decreases and atmospheric pressure increases near the volcano, freeze on dust particles forming ice crystals. These ice crystals, along with suspended dust particles, then come together to create the clouds seen on the series of images.
