MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
March 23, 2016

o Stratigraphy of Alluvial Fans in Saheki Crater
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_044491_1585

  Some of the best-preserved alluvial fans on Mars are in
  this area, which we've images many times previously.

o Old Salt

  Just what is that "purplish" colored stuff with the polygonal
  fractures?

o Looking for Ice
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_044698_2245

  At high latitudes, new impact craters often expose ice, which
  appears bright in HiRISE enhanced-color images.

o Colorful Polar Layered Deposits

  The North Polar layered deposits provide a record of recent climate
  changes on Mars.
