This image was acquired by NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander's Surface Stereo Imager (SSI) in the late afternoon of the 30th Martian day of the mission, or Sol 30 (June 25, 2008), hours after the beginning of Martian northern summer. SSI used its natural-color filters; therefore, the color of the image is as you would see on Mars.
