MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
July 24, 2013

o Utopia Planitia

  Under the proper climate conditions, ice may form and
  seasonally accumulate in a honeycomb network of vertical
  fractures that appear when ice-rich soil contracts each winter.

o A Unique View of Curiosity Rover in Yellowknife Bay

  The rover is now driving south towards the large mound in Gale
  Crater officially named Aeolis Mons and also called "Mount Sharp."

o Ice Deposition and Loss in an Impact Crater in Utopia Basin

  From what we see in this observation, a lot has happened to modify
  the appearance of the crater since it was formed.
