MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
July 10, 2013

o Northwest Ius Chasma Landslide and Dune Field
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_026444_1720

  Landslides in Valles Marineris are truly enormous, sometimes
  stretching from one wall to the base of another.

o Knob in the South Polar Layered Deposits of Mars
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_032020_0955

  The South Polar Layered Deposits of Mars are a thick stack of
  layers of ice and dust, deposited over millions of years.

o Mawrth Vallis Geodiversity
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_032125_2025

  This ancient valley once hosted flowing water, and its erosive
  power cut down into the underlying layers of rock to expose a host
  of diverse geologic landforms visible today.

o Sediments in Ladon Basin
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_032297_1595

  This image shows light-toned layered deposits at the contact between
  the Ladon Valles channel and Ladon Basin.
