MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
September 18, 2013

o Sinuous Ridge Cutting Across Geologic Units of the Medusae Fossae Formation
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_032620_1780

  At this location is an exceptionally long sinuous ridge, possibly an
  inverted fluvial feature.

o Martian Glaciers and Brain Terrain

  This strange-looking surface might be related to flow of the ice, but we
  still don't have an definite explanation for this mystery.

o Two Generations of Windblown Sediments
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_033262_1725

  This colorful scene is situated in the Noctis Labyrinthus, perched high
  on the Tharsis rise in the upper reaches of the Valles Marineris
  canyon system.
