The Arsia Mons Elongated Cloud

ESA’s Mars Expres has been observing an elongated cloud of water ice that emerges near the 20-kilometre-tall Arsia Mons volcano, when spring arrives on Mars. Using repeated observations and data from other spacecraft, scientists have been able to explain its daily cycle. At its largest, the cloud measures some 1800 km in length and 150 km across. It is the biggest orographic cloud ever seen on Mars, forming as a result of wind being forced upwards by the slopes of Arsia Mons. The cloud undergoes a rapid daily cycle that repeats every morning for several months.
