Abstract
Like Earth, Mars has experienced long-term fluctuations in climatic conditions. The cause of certain fluctuations is now identified as variation in the planet's astronomical behaviour.
In 1971, the Mariner 9 orbiter revealed extensive layered deposits on Mars at each pole at latitudes above 75°. Later spacecraft provided more detailed views of these deposits, which occur in both the northern and southern hemispheres as broad domes up to 2.
