Sorry Admins if this isn't exactly the right place to put this topic, but I struggled to find a better place... feel free to move it if appropriate.
As Phoenix's landing approaches I've been doing a lot of picture research to prepare my talks, and have really had my eyes opened to how beautiful and dramatic Mars' polar caps and polar regions are. I guess I've neglected them before, concentrated too much on the more glamourous and better-known landing sites of Viking, Sojourner and the MERs, but wow, there's some amazing sights up there in't far north... So I just thought I'd invite the imagesmiths out there to put up their best/fave views of the poles for everyone to enjoy, as part of the build-up to the Big Day. Here are the images I've made for my talk - not directly related to the Phoenix landing site, I know, just "wow!" images... This is a crop of an MGS pic, showing part of the Chasma Boreale...
... and this is a crop of a hiRISE image showing a neighbouring area...
Ok, come on, share what you've got... or if you've got nothing, make something...

 ...that geyser shot is amazing, Nick! I wasn't sure if I believed in those things or not; think I do now!Notice that the source of the rightmost one in the shot is surrounded by what look like outflow channels, but of course they can't be since CO2 sublimates. Are these surface collapse fractures from depletion of the buried CO2? -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
