Seven very dark holes on the north slope of a Martian volcano have been proposed as possible cave skylights, based on day-night temperature patterns suggesting they are openings to subsurface spaces. Seven Possible Cave Skylights on Mars - 09/21/2007

At the center of this image is a large crater with rough walls and debris from the impact strewn about.  Much of this rougher terrain is colored blue and extends diagonally from bottom left to top right.  Smoother lava surfaces colored orange and yellow come in around the crater and ejected material.  Smaller craters formed after the impact crater and the lava randomly dot the surface as well. A Colorful Marriage of Old & Young - 09/19/2007

This color image shows an overhead view of a meandering channel winding from the lower right edge toward the upper left edge. On either side of the channel are a variety of craters. Near the top, where the channel opens out onto a flatter area, is a crater that is somewhat larger than the others. The bed of the channel and the crater interiors are reddish in color. The reatively flat surface north and south of the large crater is light blue. Martian Clays Beckon - 07/12/2007

This color image shows two channels oriented from the lower right to the upper left - a narrow, somewhat meandering channel on the left and a broader channel on the right, the floor of which is replete with boulders and scour marks. Odyssey Views A Surface Changed by Floods - 06/29/2007

This image shows depth-to-ice map of a southern Mars site near Melea Planum.  On the map, areas of the surface that cooled more slowly between summer and autumn (interpreted as having the ice closer to the surface) are coded blue and green. Areas that cooled more quickly (interpreted as having more distance to the ice) are coded red and yellow. Depth-to-Ice Map of a Southern Mars Site Near Melea Planum - 05/02/2007

This image taken from 250 miles above Mars shows an area on Mars about 240 miles wide.  Hundreds of craters in the image vary in size from a quarter to a small crumb, with the largest crater in the center left.  Multiple lines of varying widths and lengths in the upper half of the picture cross diagonally southwest to northeast.  Two long fractures extend all the way south, into the bottom half of the image. The image is a colorful map that looks like an abstract art painting, with a full-spectrum of different colors representing different minerals on Mars.  A bright magenta area in the shape of a stereotypical house is in the center of the image, tilted to the left, with lime green, yellow, purple and orange smattering the image in the south.  Dark blue, darker green, and pink cover most of the northern section. Olivine-Rich Bedrock Around Nili Fossae - 06/01/2005
