Phobos orbits Mars at 9400 kilometres distance and takes just over 7.6 hours to orbit. On the visible hemisphere of Mars,the northern polar region has carbon dioxide ice (white). Olympus Mons volcano,the largest mountain in the solar system,is just below and left of Stickney Crater. The massive Valles Marineris canyon system runs horizontally at upper left.
