MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES

o A Giant Cave on a Giant Volcano

  From this digital terrain model, we can measure how much 
  material drained out of the conical pit and so estimate 
  how tall the debris pile is.

o Feathery Ridges

  It is common for sand dunes to be covered in small ripples, 
  often with different orientations that may be shaped by wind.

o A Revealing Landslide in Hebes Chasma

  Exposures of layered rock like these are helpful in determining 
  the types of geologic processes that have occurred at an area 
  over time.

o An Impact Crater in Isidis Planitia	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_036934_1915

  This location is also the site of an early candidate for location 
  of the Beagle 2 lander based on an image from the Mars Global Surveyor.
