Mars has huge dark areas that are even visible from telescopes on Earth, and yet not much is known with regards to how they form. In this video I take a look at the characteristics of the most iconic dark patch of Mars then I talk about whether or not these dark spots form due to winds, elevation or dust devils. Overall there are some quite puzzling problems that these dark spots reveal.
