MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
November 4, 2015
o Meanders in Ridge Form in the Zephyria Region
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_024695_1745
In this image, an ancient sinuous meandering river system
is surrounded by features called "yardangs."
o Small Channels and a Rocky Patch in the Cydonia Region
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_032283_2115
The southern section of this observation is dominated by both a
series of craters and the remnants of channels that may be from a
past fluvial system.
o Marching Dust Devils

On an early fall afternoon in Ganges Chasma, we managed to capture
a cluster of 8 dust devils. Not too bad!
