Additional Images in Cebrenia Quadrangle

  • Map of Cebrenia. Viking II landed near Mie crater. The volcano Hecates probably has glaciers on its slopes.

  • Apsus Vallis, as seen by THEMIS. Apsus is near the Elysium volcanic system; it may have been partially formed by the action of lava.

  • Material moving down slope in Phlegra Montes, as seen by HiRISE. Movement is probably aided by water/ice.

  • Lobate Debris Apron in Phlegra Montes, as seen by HiRISE. The debris apron is probably mostly ice with a thin covering of rock debris, so it could be a source of water for future Martian colonists. Scale bar is 500 meters long.

  • Hephaestus Fossae Two Views, as seen by HiRISE. Picture on right lies to the top (north) of other picture. Fossa (geology) often form by material moving into an underground void.

  • Surface features of Lycus Sulci, as seen by HiRISE under the HiWish program.

  • Close up view of mantle, as seen by HiRISE under the HiWish program. Mantle may be composed of ice and dust.

  • Ridge and surface features near rim of Adams crater, as seen by HiRISE under HiWish program.

  • Wide view of a cliff and remains of a glacier, as seen by HiRISE under HiWish program.

  • Close-up of a cliff showing possible faults, as seen by HiRISE under HiWish program; note the rock that seems to be split by the fault. Some boulders are sitting in round holes because their ability to gather and hold heat may have melted ground ice.

  • Close-up of grooves left by a glacier, as seen by HiRISE under HiWish program. The presence of grooves suggest that it was a wet-based glacier. Moisture under the glacier may have helped Martian organisms to survive.

  • Close-up of surface, as seen by HiRISE under HiWish program.

Famous quotes containing the words additional and/or images:

    “The mere existence of an additional child or children in the family could signify Less. Less time alone with parents. Less attention for hurts and disappointments. Less approval for accomplishments. . . . No wonder children struggle so fiercely to be first or best. No wonder they mobilize all their energy to have more or most. Or better still, all.”
    —Adele Faber (20th century)

    “It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
    —George Steiner (b. 1929)
