These mountains are probably as hard as rock, made of icy materials, and are coated with different layers of organics

The dunes seem to consist of sand grains made of organics, built on water-ice bedrock, and there may also be some snow and bright deposits," Brown said.

Some of this organic gunk falls out of the atmosphere as rain, dust, or smog onto the valley floors and mountain tops, which are coated with dark spots that appear to be brushed, washed, scoured and moved around the surface.",



mountains composed of ice, covered with black snow from tarry substances and covered from methane clouds,
