The images I have seen of Mars seem to show a more pronounced polar 'ice' cap on the South Pole than at the North. Could that be something to do with the times in the Martian year that the images are all taken (relative orbital positions vs winter and summer) or something else?
Earth's South pole has more of a permanent ice cap but that can be explained by the solid ground of Antarctica vs the sea under the North pole. But there isn't an equivalent difference on Mars.
Any ideas?
