o 36 Gullies http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022682_1360 The 36 gullies referred to in the title of this observation were previously identified and fully described in a MOC image. o Meandering Slope Streak http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022991_2070 This dusty region of Mars has many slope streaks, which are thought to form when dust cascades down a slope. o Remains of Summer at the South Pole http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_023174_0945 This image captures the margin of the South polar residual ice cap where it meets the surrounding terrain. o The Crazy Floor of Hellas Basin http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_023234_1460 The deep floor of Hellas impact basin is often obscured by haze, but at times we get some clear views. 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.
