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...
