  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_025481_1385

  As of 2011, no craters have been found on Martian dunes,
  supporting the hypothesis that the dune fields are very young
  features.

o Phoenix Lander Almost 2 Mars Years after Landing

  This is one of a series of images to monitor frost patterns
  at the Phoenix landing site.

o Spirit Lander and Bonneville Crater in Color
  This is the first time that HiRISE has imaged the Spirit rover
  in color, on the west side of Bonneville Crater.
