MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
July 2, 2014

o A Giant Cave on a Giant Volcano

  From this digital terrain model, we can measure how much
  material drained out of the conical pit and so estimate
  how tall the debris pile is.

o Feathery Ridges

  It is common for sand dunes to be covered in small ripples,
  often with different orientations that may be shaped by wind.

o A Revealing Landslide in Hebes Chasma
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_036927_1790

  Exposures of layered rock like these are helpful in determining
  the types of geologic processes that have occurred at an area
  over time.

o An Impact Crater in Isidis Planitia
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_036934_1915

  This location is also the site of an early candidate for location
  of the Beagle 2 lander based on an image from the Mars Global Surveyor.
