Old Features and New
This image covers a portion of a typical impact crater in Terra Sirenum at about 40 degrees south latitude on Mars.
The Amazing Spider-Land
This observation features an amazing variety of surface terrain and araneiform structures that we dub “spiders.”
A Flow near Huo Hsing Vallis
The lava appears to overlay sand and sedimentary deposits, so finer scale This image shows a potential outflow channel near Huo Hsing Vallis into an old crater.

River of Sand
A dominant driver of surface processes on Mars today is aeolian (wind) activity. In many cases, sediment from this activity is trapped in low-lying areas, such as craters.
Deposits along the Northern Wall of Melas Chasma
It has been known since the 1970s when the Viking orbiters took pictures of Mars that there are large (i.e., several kilometers-thick) mounds of light-toned deposits within the central portion of Valles Marineris.
Layers in a Phlegra Montes Impact Crater
The objective of this observation is to examine at least two layers that are exposed in the wall of an impact crater that’s less than 5 km across.
