We model the temporal change of surface albedo due to the effect of ice sublimation. Icy sublimation produces greatly difference from the initial albedo state. Current albedo distribution can be reconstructed from the sinusoidal distribution. It suggests the external origin of the albedo dichotomy. The depth of the layer where the dark materials exist should be an order of 10 cm.
