MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
February 24, 2016

o Summer Sand Dunes

  In the winter and spring, the dunes are covered by a
  seasonal cap of dry ice.

o Colorful Hargraves

  This image is in a region that hosts many proposed future
  Mars landing sites.

o Dramatic Shadows over a Fossil Glacier
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_044193_1430

  This image was acquired near the Martian winter solstice, when
  the sun was low over the horizon at this location.

o Frosted Gully Slopes in Shadows
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_044327_1375

  At first glance, this image looks like a mistake because the
  gullies of interest are entirely hidden in a large shadow
  filling most of the crater.
