o Hydrated Minerals North of Hellas Basin http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021705_1510 This HiRISE image has considerable diversity in color suggesting a range of surface compositions. o More Emmentaler http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021725_0930 This terrain is called jokingly, "Swiss Cheese" because the structure looks a little like Emmentaler cheese -- a cheese from near the Emme Valley in the Swiss canton of Berne. o Opportunity's Goal: Northwest Endeavour Crater Rim http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021892_1775 CRISM spectral information indicates a number of different hydrated sulfates in the whitish material beneath the sand and phyllosilicates, or water bearing clay minerals, in the reddish rim. All of the HiRISE images are archived here: http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ Information about the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is online at http://www.nasa.gov/mro. The mission is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology, for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C.
