o Boulders on a Landslide
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_035831_1760

  This landslide is relatively fresh, as many individual boulders 
  still stand out above the main deposit.

o Topography of the Western Edge of Marth Crater	
  http://www.uahirise.org/dtm/dtm.php?ID=ESP_042753_1930

  This digital terrain model shows a small portion of the 94-kilometer-diamter 
  Marth Crater, the fictional traverse of astronaut Mark Watney.

o Icy Erosion	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_042886_1480

  This observation shows an interesting collection of kilometer-scale 
  craters with flat and smooth floors.

o A Frost Enhanced Landscape	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_042895_2495

  The process of polygon formation is common at these polar latitudes, 
  but polygons are not always as striking as they are here.
