  The light-toned deposits within the lobes of a small impact 
   crater might contain hydrated minerals.

  An enigmatic deposit inside a small crater on the floor of Gale 
  Crater appears to have flowed into the crater from the south.

  This image is at the eastern edge of a very large deposit of 
  wind-blown dust that occupies Ganges Chasma.

o Night Vision

  This image was taken to look at seasonal frost in gullies during 
  southern winter on Mars, with the Sun only about two degrees over 
  the horizon, as opposed to the typical 15 degrees.
