MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
August 13, 2014

o Glaciation at the Eastern Hellas Margin
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_036947_1390

  Hellas Crater in the ancient highlands contains some of the
  clearest evidence on Mars for glacial processes.

o The Side of Chasma Boreale
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037056_2650

  Comparing images like this to those taken in previous years and
  in different seasons allows a more accurate understanding of
  current surface processes on the Red Planet.

o An Irregular, Upright Boulder
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037190_1765

  The trail has a odd repeating pattern, as if the boulder couldn't
  roll straight due to its shape.

o Strange Cones and Flows
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037222_1820

  The shapes of these regions are unusual, and the association with
  cones suggest that the cones were source vents for local lava flows.
