HiRISE shares a long-term monitoring image of polar dunes showing frost and dark sublimation spots, reinforcing that Mars change-detection is an ongoing, repeat-imaging program rather than one-off snapshots.

We acquired this image as a site for long term monitoring for any changes.
On some of the ridges, frost is visible as well as dark spots caused by the process of sublimation.
