In a scene straight out of a science fiction movie NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has released images taken by their Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft showing Martian avalanches, in progress, near the north pole of the red planet.

NASA says these false color pictures were taken February 19th by the orbiter's High Resolution Imaging Experiment, or HiRISE system, as the robotic spaceship was surveying the polar region to monitor seasonal changes in the carbon-dioxide or CO2 frost.

NASA says the High Resolution Imaging Experiment (HiRISE) on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took the space picture February 19, 2008.

The strong crosswinds forced the crew to abort the landing and go around.

Published reports indicate the plane carried 131 passengers and did manage to land without further trouble on the next attempt.
