MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
June 29, 2011
o Active Gullies in Crater Dune Field, Southern Polar Region
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022255_1095
These dune gullies are located in an unnamed crater just north
of the Richardson Crater, which also contain dune gullies.
o Lobate Flow Feature in Eastern Hellas
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022494_1385
Similar flow features are found in many other craters
throughout the Southern mid-latitudes of Mars, particularly in
this region east of Hellas.
o Terraced Eastern Wall along the Middle Reach of Ma
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022848_1595
In this HiRISE image, numerous trough-like channels on the lower
wall and terrace region suggest that water flowed in Ma'adim
Vallis in the ancient past.
