Many areas on Mars experience the passage of giant dust devils. A thin coating of fine bright dust covers most of the Martian surface. These dust devils have been seen from the ground and high overhead from orbit. They have even blown dust off the solar panels of the two Rovers on Mars, thereby greatly extending their usefulness. The pattern of the tracks has been shown to change every few months. A study that combined data from the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) and the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) found that some large dust devils on Mars have a diameter of 700 metres (2,300 ft) and last at least 26 minutes.
What else can I help you with?

As extraordinary as it may seem, this is in fact true. Dust devils on Mars commonly reach a height of 10 kilometers and a width of 1 kilometer. Mount Everest is only 8 kilometers high.
