In ancient times your reddened sands,<\/p>\n

Were struck by courtiers from space;<\/p>\n

They scarred you with their giant hands,<\/p>\n

Then watched as tears fell down your face.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the first blow you screamed in pain,<\/p>\n

And told yourself never again;<\/p>\n

Soon afterwards your heart was ice,<\/p>\n

At least they only hit you twice.<\/p>\n

This is a Rispetto<\/a> that is inspired by recent research<\/a>, which found that the terrain of early Mars (~3.4 billion years ago) was heavily influenced by two mega tsunamis, caused by meteorite collisions that occurred a couple of million years apart. The study indicates that the second tsunami was in fact an ice surge (a surge of ice from an ocean or large lake onto the shore) rather than a liquid water wave, which would suggest that in the years between the two tsunami events the climate of Mars became significantly colder. \u00a0Here is a video<\/a> of an Ice Surge in Canada, filmed by the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency in 2013. The fronts of this ice surge were found to be very similar to those that occurred on Mars several billion years ago.<\/p>\n
