MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
September 7, 2011

o Gullies and Lobate Material in a Crater in Nereidum Montes
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_023173_1405

  This crater has gullies on its southwest-facing walls and rim, as
  well as and what appears to be two separate instances of ear-shaped
  material associated to its interior gullies.

o Iazu Crater
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_023237_1775

  These crater walls, which are well exposed,may provide a regional
  context for the Opportunity rover's studies of Endeavour Crater.

o Carbon Dioxide Ice in the Late Summer
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_023464_0945

  For most of the year these walls are covered with bright frost, but
  they defrost and show their true colors at the end of the summer.

o Fan and Dust Devil in Deuteronilus Mensa
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_023671_2270

  The dust devil is an example of the ongoing processes that continue to
  shape the surface of Mars.
