Amazing Pictures of Martian Clouds

Very pretty. It actually looks like Arizona in some ways, the rust-colored rock.
How do you have clouds with no water?






Mars has a cloud made of water ice called the Arsia Mons Elongated Cloud IIRC, it appears during the solstice, and hangs around for a few months. The rest of the clouds are dust from the surface blown up into the atmosphere by the powerful winds.

What happened to the water? Where'd it go?

They have water vapor clouds, but also clouds formed of dry ice crystals CO2
