  This image reveals bouldery patches on the floor of the giant Hellas impact basin.

o Mineral Veins

  The bright linear features cutting the bedrock in the center region of this image
  look like mineral veins.

o Magical Mystery Mound
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_025729_1305

  The contorted material sits on the floor of a degraded impact crater, with some
  bizarrely grooved textures that show up nicely with the low-sun illumination.

o A Cloudy Day

  Where the clouds are thin the remaining bright winter ice can be seen protected
  in shallow grooves on the ground, in addition to covering the dunes.
