Martian winds lift sand grains into the air and drive them across the surface, eroding soft sedimentary layers.

The remaining structures, known as yardangs, stand above the surrounding terrain and can extend for tens of kilometers in the direction of the prevailing winds.

The erosion caused by Martian winds gradually carves elongated grooves and ridges near the planet's equator.

Researchers from Rice University discovered that small lakes on ancient Mars may have remained liquid for decades, even with average air temperatures well below freezing.

The research indicates that lakes in locations such as Gale Crater, near Mars' equator, could have persisted under thin seasonal ice for at least decades.

The study used a climate model adapted for Martian conditions to analyze the lakes.

China's first cave-survival training program was a nearly monthlong exercise run by the Astronaut Center of China.
