Wow! Very nice! The orange-red really provides a nice contrast to the black back ground and makes Mars really pop out in this picture! (Is that the ice on one of the poles?)
It only took NASA a day or so to post it to APOD! (And I was standing out in 20F weather with binoculars for this!)

Yes, it looks like the white area is one of the poles. Probably frozen CO2, but there could be some water ice under that.
