o Summer Sand Dunes

  In the winter and spring, the dunes are covered by a 
  seasonal cap of dry ice.

o Colorful Hargraves

  This image is in a region that hosts many proposed future 
  Mars landing sites.

o Dramatic Shadows over a Fossil Glacier

  This image was acquired near the Martian winter solstice, when 
  the sun was low over the horizon at this location.

o Frosted Gully Slopes in Shadows

  At first glance, this image looks like a mistake because the 
  gullies of interest are entirely hidden in a large shadow 
  filling most of the crater.
