MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES

o Lava Flow Near the Base of Olympus Mons	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_020090_1985

  The channel appears to be discontinuous, but it is 
  likely that the channel continues underground as a lava tube.

o When Weather Happens: Liu Hsin Crater Ejecta	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_020158_1275

  Just as on Earth, sometimes the weather is unpredictable.

o Cerberus Fossae: In the Relay Zone	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039121_1905

  These zones have much higher stress built up in the crust and 
  consequently tend to be more fractured.

o A Fresh, Shallow Valley in Northern Arabia Terra	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039997_2170

  This relatively fresh, shallowly incised valley was once filled 
  with water and/or ice and flowed to the west toward a large, 
  local depression.
