MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES

o Which Way is Up?
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_035969_1825

  We have seen much evidence for lava flows in this region that 
  flowed to much higher levels than the present surface, then 
  deflated or drained away.

o Search for the Mars 2 Debris Field

  The Soviet Mars 2 lander was the first man-made object to touch 
  the surface of the Red Planet when it crashed landed on 27 November 1971.

o Hardened Dunes in Arcadia Planitia

  There are several lines of evidence indicating that the dunes have 
  become hardened into cohesive sediment or even into sandstone rock.

o Sand Sources Near Athabasca Valles	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038224_1890

  This image shows a small channel cutting into young volcanic lavas in a 
  region where massive catastrophic flooding took place in the relatively 
  recent past.
