Description	As we can see in this 2007 HiRISE image of the South Pole ice cap, higher-standing smooth material is broken up by circular, oval, and blob-shaped depressions. This patterned terrain is called “Swiss cheese” terrain. The high-standing areas are carbon dioxide ice with thicknesses of several to approximately 10 meters.
