Past Life on Mars?
Well, it might have been possible according to this article. There is a region of Mars with rocks similar to those on Earth formed near warm geothermal vents which on Earth are abundant on life. If any life formed at this location, the chemicals it produced (called "biomarkers") should still be detectable. That's it. Interesting, and something to definitely look for.

Martian Ice Spirals
Caused by wind? Maybe so. Pretty impressive if you ask me, especially given how thin Mars's atmosphere is.
