The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express orbiter captured stunning views of a winter wonderland on Mars, but this isn’t your regular snowfall. Instead, Mars’ south pole is covered in layers of carbon dioxide ice and dust, according to ESA, creating the mesmerizing scene across the planet’s southerly region of Australe Scopuli.

Some of the more notable debris on Mars includes pieces of the Viking landers, heat shields, pieces of insulation and, more recently, parachutes and backshells from rover missions Curiosity and Perseverance. The latter includes what is now a grounded drone with a busted propeller.

Mars has a breathtaking winter wonderland near its south pole, where carbon dioxide ice forms dynamic patterns of dust and frost.
