+'''Argon''' is the third most abundant element in the martian [[atmosphere]]. It is an oderless, colorless [[nobel gas]]. Like the other nobel gasses, it is chemically inert. As such, it has many uses in industry. Argon is easily produced from the atmosphere through [[distillation]] of liquified air.
