o Equatorial Gullies

  Gully-like landforms, or ravines, are most common in the middle 
  latitudes of Mars, but also occur in polar and equatorial latitudes.

o Frost in Dune Shadows

  The low sun angle creates large shadows from these dunes, making for 
  a dramatic picture.

o Dunes Streaming through Hills	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034948_1720

  This dramatic image show dark rippled bodies of sand, sometimes in the 
  form of dunes, streaming through Ganges Chasma.

o Craters in an Icy Surface

  The crater in the center of this image is unusual because there is a wide, 
  flat bench between the outer rim and the inner section, making it appear 
  somewhat like a bullseye.
