Indeed it does, and it's probably better explained using a triple point diagram:

On earth (at higher pressures), increasing temperature goes from the solid, to liquid, and then to gas phases (the triple-point in the middle is at zero degress celcius)

The lower atmospheric pressure on Mars (~1% of sea-level earth pressure) means that you go straight from solid to gas. In fact, the liquid part is actually impossible (IANAChemist) unless you increase the pressure sufficiently.

Help me in any way that you can fight this law. I was first made aware of this two days ago by this article on slashdot."
