MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
January 28, 2015

o Gullies Old and New Near the Argyre Region

  As gullies form on slopes, sediment can become deposited
  to form lobe-shaped fans.

o Higher Terrain between Sinai and Solis Plana
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038932_1635

  The area is riddled with faults and ridges that look like
  uncovered magma dikes.

o Filled Crater and Scallops
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038967_1230

  These scallop formations might be possibly due to ground ice
  sublimation.

o Pits in Hale Crater Ejecta
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039524_1445

  The pits visible here aren't impact craters. The material
  they're embedded into is ejecta from a large crater called Hale.
