Dunes and Bedrock — This beautiful pic is located within an impact crater to the west of the massive Hellas basin.

Slopes of Layered Deposits – This is one of our favorite areas to image, as the rocky outcrops almost look like islands in a dune sea. The area is directly north of the Valles Marineris canyon system.

Light-Toned Material in Aram Chaos – Aram Chaos mainly comprises a heavily eroded impact crater on Mars. It lies at the eastern end of the large canyon Valles Marineris and close to Ares Vallis. Various geological processes have reduced it to a circular area of chaotic terrain.

A Fluvial Feature to the North of Hellas Planitia — The high-standing ridges suggest that their material is more resistant to the surrounding terrain.

A Sample of Pock-Marked Terrain
This difficult terrain is within a large impact crater that is side-by-side with another crater. This image is located to northwest of the Hellas impact basin in the southern latitudes of Mars.

Parabolic Crater Ejecta – Interesting that these impact craters have their ejecta (the dark portions) oriented in the same general direction. Hmmm...

The Dark Side of Dust Avalances – Changes on the Martian surface are detected by imaging the same area more than once. Here, we see several new dust avalanches on the slopes of ridges within the Olympus Mons Aureole. These changes occurred within six years.
Dust avalanches create slope streaks that expose darker materials usually hidden below a lighter-toned layer. Cascading fine-grained material easily diverts around boulders or alters direction when encountering a change in slope.

An ExoMars Landing Site
HiRISE plays an important role in finding suitable landing sites for future rover missions. Scientists have narrowed down the candidate landing sites for the upcoming European ExoMars rover mission to two regions: the plains of Oxia and Mawrth Vallis.
HiRISE pictures help to assess the risk for each particular location so that a final landing site can be selected.
