  This is within the latitude zone on Mars where volatiles such as
  water and carbon-dioxide undergo seasonal activity such as sublimation
  and deposition.

o The Color Palette of Nilosyrtis Mensae
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_028825_2070

  The region of Mars north of the Syrtis Major volcanics and the Isidis
  impact basin has well-exposed bedrock with diverse compositions.

o Eye of the Beholder
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_028957_2085

  Nilosyrtis Mensae is an ancient terrain with a wonderful variety of
  landforms and rock types.

o Lava Flows in Daedalia Planum
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_028965_1610

  To the southwest of Arsia Mons in Daedalia Planum, wide lava flow units
  emanating from the volcano coalesce to form a vast volcanic plain.
