  The suggested area in this observation is characterized by a 
  group of cones, shield-like features, and round mounds.

o Faults in Claritas Fossae	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022476_1535

  This observation can help measure displacements across well-exposed 
  normal faults to investigate stress history and material properties.

o Erosion Features near the South Pole of Mars

  During the winter, high latitudes on Mars build up deposits of 
  carbon dioxide frost that can be several feet thick.
