Gullies, 2017
- These viscous, lobate flow features found in the mid-latitudes of Mars resemble terrestrial moraines, suggesting that these deposits are ice-rich, or may have been ice-rich in the past.
Yellowknife Bay, 2013
- The rough spherical features in an area called Yellowknife Bay are interpreted as concretions, implying they were formed by water that oozed through pores in the sediment.
Acidalia Planitia, 2015
- This plain serves as the fictional landing site of a crewed mission named Ares 3 in the best-selling novel and film 'The Martian.'
Noctis Labyrinthus, 2013
- Perched high on the Tharsis rise in the upper reaches of Valles Marineris, this region is notable for its maze-like system of deep, steep-walled valleys.
Gale crater, 2013
- Estimated to be between 3.5 and 3.8 billion years old, this crater is probably also a dry lake near the northwestern part of the Aeolis quadrangle.
Gale crater, 2012
- Pictured is part of Gale crater's wall where a network of valleys believed to have formed by water erosion enters the crater from the outside.
Victoria crater, 2006
- The impact crater located in the Meridiani Planum plain is roughly 730 m wide and named after one of Ferdinand Magellan's five ships, the first to circumnavigate the globe.
In color, 2008
- This is one of the first color images of Mars's surface taken after the Phoenix Mars lander spacecraft landed successfully on May 25, 2008. It was the first-ever touchdown near Mars's north pole.
Hellas Planitia, 2008
- This image shows a perspective view of a mountain in eastern Hellas Planitia where large glaciers were detected hidden under rocky debris.
Hellas Planitia, 2008
- This is a different perspective view of the mountain in eastern Hellas Planitia where large glaciers were detected hidden under rocky debris.
Southern hemisphere, 2017
- Shallow pits can be seen in the bright residual cap of carbon dioxide ice next to a deeper, circular formation that penetrates through the ice and dust, which could be an impact crater or a collapse pit.
Rock formation, 2014
- This evenly-layered rock formation displays pattern typical of a lake-floor sedimentary deposit, suggesting a lake once filled this crater.
Cape Verde, 2006
- Rocky cliffs in the foreground named Cape Verde are located on the rim of Victoria crater. The cliffs were named after the country in honor of Ferdinand Magellan, who visited Cape Verde on his voyage around the world.
Marquette Island, 2010
- Marquette Island is a rock about the size of a basketball whose texture composition suggest came from deep inside the Martian crust.
Echus Chasma, 2008
- Researchers believe waterfalls may once have plunged over these 4000-meter-high cliffs on to the valley floor. The smoothness of the valley floor suggests it was later flooded by basaltic lava.
