http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022682_1360
The 36 gullies referred to in the title of this observation
were previously identified and fully described in a MOC image.
o Meandering Slope Streak
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022991_2070
This dusty region of Mars has many slope streaks, which are
thought to form when dust cascades down a slope.
o Remains of Summer at the South Pole
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_023174_0945
This image captures the margin of the South polar residual ice
cap where it meets the surrounding terrain.
o The Crazy Floor of Hellas Basin
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_023234_1460
The deep floor of Hellas impact basin is often obscured by haze,
but at times we get some clear views.
