MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
October 15, 2014

o A Collection of Landforms in Eastern Elysium Planitia	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037300_1825

  This image shows a great deal of geologic diversity in a 
  rather small area.

o Mounds of Layered Material on the West Edge of Melas Chasma	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037494_1685

  Melas Chasma is the widest segment of the Valles Marineris canyon, 
  and is an area where MRO has detected the presence of sulfates.

o A Light Toned Deposit in Arsinoes Chaos

  The deposit displays a rough surface, in contrast to the smoothness 
  of the surounding area.

o Perennial Frost in a Crater on the Northern Plains

  Carbon dioxide is not stable under summer conditions, so this is likely 
  a patch of water ice.
