    This image from the HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows great detail in the highlands of Mars west of the Argyre basin. Light-blue areas are ancient river channels now filled by wind-blown sediments. The widest is about 500 meters (1,640 feet) across. The white dot in the color-coded topographic map (right) indicates the location of this image.
