Landscapes are usually associated with rolling hills and lush meadows, the tranquil quiet broken only by occasional birdsong. Not these landscapes. Full of fiends and strange faces, some of them might make you think a wizard muttered incantations to invoke nature’s sinister spirits.

Strange Eggs Appear

It’s amazing the feelings and exciting colors nature can give birth to… from orange to red, from peace and quiet to danger, from darkness to sparkles. The world is gleaming…

This HiRISE image shows evidence of flowing water on Mars, which occurred in recent geologic time. A cusp-shaped cliff (with narrow, spur-like headlands) divides higher terrain (bottom left) from lower terrain (upper right). A channel network leads away from a debris field underneath the cliff and terminates in hummocky debris fans. Both the upper and lower terrains are marked by a polygonal pattern of faint grooves and mounds. This terrain pattern - when found with cusp-shaped cliffs, debris fields, and channels - indicates thawing of an ice-rich permafrost landscape. Virtually identical features are seen on Earth in permafrost areas of Canada and Siberia. These features are Part of HiIRSE image PSP_009280_1905.
