  This region of Mars contains kilometers-thick light-toned
  layered sedimentary deposits along many of its floors.

o Shapes and Spots on a Polar Sand Dune
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034441_2565

  This observation shows numerous dark shapes and bright spots
  on a sand dune in the Northern polar regions of Mars.

o Oxus Patera Collapse Feature
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034656_2195

  It's unknown how Oxus Patera formed, although some suggest it
  represents an ancient caldera formed by collapse and explosive volcanism.

o Giant Gullies North of the Argyre Impact Basin

  Even by Martian standards, the gullies in this observation are quite large.
