  The bright linear features cutting the bedrock in the center region of this image 
  look like mineral veins.

o Magical Mystery Mound

  The contorted material sits on the floor of a degraded impact crater, with some 
  bizarrely grooved textures that show up nicely with the low-sun illumination.

o A Cloudy Day

  Where the clouds are thin the remaining bright winter ice can be seen protected 
  in shallow grooves on the ground, in addition to covering the dunes.
