MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
September 18, 2013

o Sinuous Ridge Cutting Across Geologic Units of the Medusae Fossae Formation	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_032620_1780

  At this location is an exceptionally long sinuous ridge, possibly an 
  inverted fluvial feature.

o Martian Glaciers and Brain Terrain	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_033165_2195
  
  This strange-looking surface might be related to flow of the ice, but we 
  still don't have an definite explanation for this mystery.

o Two Generations of Windblown Sediments	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_033262_1725

  This colorful scene is situated in the Noctis Labyrinthus, perched high 
  on the Tharsis rise in the upper reaches of the Valles Marineris 
  canyon system.
