MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES

o Sand Dunes in Spring

  Dark, bare south-facing slopes are soaking up the warmth of the sun.

o Don't Get Lost in the North Polar Ice Cap
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_035295_2670
  
  The ice cap would be a bad place to get lost: it's one of the 
  smoothest, flattest places on Mars so there are no landmarks visible.

o Many Small Interesting Ridges in Erythraea Fossa	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_035409_1525

 These light-toned ridges are found in a large fracture located east of 
  Holden Crater and form a curious box-like pattern.

o A Crater Straddling Two Terrain Units	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_035421_1810

  An approximately 1-kilometer impact crater located in northern Sinus 
  Meridiani has formed along the boundary of two different terrain units.
