Busy preparing a new Outreach talk here, and have been trying to find some images to illustrate the "power" of HiRISE for a non-technical audience. Playing about with - sorry, carefully looking at the images on - the addictive Mars Global Data site I found a cute landslide on Xanthe Terra that does the trick nicely. Using the IAS Viewer you can zoom in on the boulders carried down the slope by the landslide and even see cracks and splits in them... unbelievable...! blink.gif

Anyone else got any fave examples?

I've not seen the image on the right before - I make that an Evel Knieval-like ~17m jump across the crater. Imagine being sat in the bottom of that as a 4m rock zips over your head... blink.gif
