New 3D Map of Mars’ North Pole Reveals Buried Canyon

A radar-generated view teases out geologic secrets from below the surface of Mars.

This story is part of Welcome to Mars, our series exploring the red planet.

Mars’ south pole has attracted a lot of attention lately thanks to the unsolved mystery of hidden lakes, but let’s not forget the planet’s scenic north pole, an icy wonderland that has some secrets of its own. A new 3D radar image of the pole shows what’s lurking beneath the surface.

A team of researchers led by Nathaniel Putzig of the Planetary Science Institute used radar data collected by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to create a new polar map. The image is called a radargram. It highlights previously obscured features like an impact crater and a buried canyon.

MRO is equipped with a Shallow Radar (Sharad) instrument that bounces radar waves off Mars, letting scientists «see» below the surface. The PSI team processed that data into a 3D view of the subsurface. The black oval labeled as a «no-data zone» is an area not imaged by Sharad. The researchers published their work in The Planetary Science Journal on Monday.

Sharad was designed to look for liquid or frozen water, but the reflected radar waves also show what’s happening with rocks and sand. It’s helping scientists form a picture of how geologic layers have been deposited and eroded at the pole.

A canyon hidden in an icy zone might conjure up Lovecraftian visions, but the radargram isn’t about sci-fi horror stories. This is about understanding polar geology and how it connects to the red planet’s climate history. Like Earth, Mars is a rocky planet, but it took a very different path to become the inhospitable place it is today.

The 3D map is just the beginning of the tale. Said Putzig, «So far, we have only scratched the surface of understanding what the new data volume is telling us about the history of Martian polar processes and climate, and there is a lot more detailed mapping work to be done.»

Next up, researchers intend to identify more buried impact craters and assess subsurface structures that appear in the image. The same process used to create the polar radargram may also be effective in showing what’s happening in other regions of the planet. Mars’ beauty and intrigue aren’t just surface-deep. Clues to its history are hidden below.

Why Travelers Are Switching to Verum E-SIM This Summer

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers

Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?

The answer is already here — eSIM.

Why eSIM Is So Convenient

eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

No more:

* searching for local SIM cards at airports
* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel

Now your internet travels with you.

Internet in 150+ Countries

Modern eSIM solutions provide coverage in 150+ countries worldwide, helping tourists, freelancers, and business travelers stay connected almost anywhere on the planet.

Among the services offering these capabilities:

Verum E-SIM — https://esim.verum.im
World E-SIM — https://worldesim.me
USA E-SIM — https://usa.esim.verum.im
Euro E-SIM — https://euro.esim.verum.im
Canada E-SIM — https://canada.esim.verum.im
Balkan E-SIM — https://balkan.esim.verum.im
Ukraine E-SIM — https://ukraine.esim.verum.im
London E-SIM — https://london.esim.verum.im
E-SIM Africa — https://africa.esim.verum.im

All of these services work on the same principle — fast, borderless internet without roaming stress.

Why It Matters Most in Summer

During the holiday season, roaming networks get overloaded, and prices for mobile data abroad often become an unpleasant surprise for travelers.

eSIM solves this problem:

* transparent, fixed pricing
* activation in 1–2 minutes
* stable internet while traveling
* no physical SIM cards required

Final Thoughts

Travel should be about freedom — not hunting for Wi-Fi or worrying about phone bills.

eSIM is quickly becoming the new global standard for mobile connectivity: simple, fast, and borderless.

Verum E-SIM and its partner services are part of this shift, making global connectivity accessible to everyone, everywhere.
