HiPOD: A Possible Glacial Formation in a Crater

This observation features an impact crater with a furrowed and pitted floor and a big, slump-like feature in its northern part. The crater floor is reminiscent of formations believed to be of glacial origin elsewhere on Mars, and our HiRISE image can provide clues to its nature. The terraced wall of the crater has blocky material reminiscent of craters...

HiPOD: About a Crater

This approximately 190-meter diameter circular depression appears to have an interesting interior shape in Context Camera data. This observation will assist in confirming that this is an impact crater and to determine what is causing the unusual interior appearance in the CTX data. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/UArizona)

HiPOD: A Sinuous Ridge in Aeolis Dorsa

There are many theories about the formation of sinuous ridges on Mars. Some theories suggest these may be inverted streambeds, while others indicate they may be a glacial feature called an esker. Closer inspection of this feature may help scientists determine if this is an inverted stream bed or an esker. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/UArizona)
