This VIS image shows 'streamers' of clouds created by katabatic winds at the north polar cap. Katabatic winds are created by cold air sinking at the pole and then speeding along the ice surface towards the edge of the polar cap. When the winds enter troughs the wind regime changes from laminar flow to choatic and clouds of ice particles and/or dust are visible. This wind activity peaks at the start of northern hemisphere summer. Orbit Number 53942 Latitude 86.8433 Longitude 99.3149 Instrument VIS Captured 2014-02-10 10 50

Today's VIS image shows part of eastern Hebes Chasma. The floor of the chasma is covered with chaotic materials, some from landslides and other layered deposits of unknown origin. Hebes Chasma is a closed basin north of Valles Marineris. It measures 126km wide north/south (78 miles), 315 km long east/west (196 miles), and 8 km (5 miles) at its deepest point.

South Polar Ice. Today's VIS image shows part of the south polar cap. This image was taken at the end of southern summer. The cap was created over millions of years with deposition of ice and dust during different seasons, creating layers. The ice surface contains several different textures which can be seen in this image. The south polar cap is called Australe Planum.

Ius Chasma. Today's VIS image shows part of Ius Chasma and one of its mega gullies (bottom of image). Ius Chasma is unique from the other chasmata of Valles Marineris in possessing mega gullies on both sides of the chasma. The largest mega gullies are located in Sinai Planum, dissecting those plains and emptying into the canyon. Mega gullies are thought to be sapping channels caused by groundwater flow and erosion. The Earth analog is springs - water that flows underground and then breaches the surface creating channels. The morphology of the Mars gullies mirrors terrestrial springs. The channel is fairly uniform in width and the head of the channel is rounded like an amphitheater. The channel lengthens by erosion at the head backwards as the surface where the spring emerges is undercut. For Mars it is theorized that subsurface water would stay liquid due to underground heating. Ius Chasma is at the western end of Valles Marineris, south of Tithonium Chasma. Valles Marineris is over 40

Today's VIS image shows the upper elevations of Olympus Mons, including part of the summit caldera. Scarps and extensional features (graben) record multiple stages of caldera collapse at the summit of Olympus Mons. Olympus Mons is the largest volcano in the solar system, reaching heights over 40 km (25 miles) tall from base to summit, with the base covering an area as large as the state of Arizona. For comparison, Mauna Loa is 9 km (5.5 miles) tall measured from its base on the sea floor. Orbit Number 90561 Latitude 17.6564 Longitude 226.782 Instrument VIS Captured 2022-05-15 02 28
