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?

are the dunes in valleys?
are the surrounding terrain hills?
and mars has a thin atmosphere
do the wind cyclones die as they leave the valley and terminate at the tops of the hills?
of course the counter argument is on earth the valleys would be cold at there floors this must not be the mechanism on mars for energy for a cyclone or tornado.
tornadoes on mars must be driven differently then on earth
