MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
August 10, 2011

o Cerberus Fossae Fractures
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021464_1900

  These fractures have acted as a conduit for the release of water
  and lava onto the surface relatively recently in Martian geologic history.

o Troughs and Wind Features of the Tharsis Region
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021527_1960

  Graben of different orientations criss-cross each other here, indicating
  that the terrain was stretched in different directions at different times.

o A Forest of Channels on the South Polar Layered Deposits
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_023164_1020

  The regularity of these features may suggest something about the thickness
  of ground ice deep below the surface.
