  Bright carbon dioxide frost (or, dry ice) highlights a network of channels 
  carved into the surface.

o A Channel Emanating from a Crater

  The origins of channels on Mars is of great interest to understand the 
  history of water.

o Changing Dust Devil Tracks and Sand Streaks in Noachis Terra

  Sand dunes on Mars are studied for many reasons. Recent investigations have 
  focused on dune and ripples movement.

o The Tracks of Curiosity

  This image was acquired for color coverage of the region that the Curiosity 
  rover may explore, but we acquired some extra monochromatic coverage of the 
  rover tracks.
