HiRISE | HiPOD Updates

HiPOD: Week of 16 February 2026

(Column extras are for 16–19 February)

	A Sinuous Ridge in Mareotis Fossae This curious sinuous ridge is located on the floor of Mareotis Fossae, a system of canyons/fractures that trend in a radial direction from Alba Mons.
	Complicated Layers at the North Pole of Mars As HiRISE acquires more images of the Red Planet, a more complete record of Martian climate can be assembled.
	Unusual Crater Texture Perhaps this crater interior is showing some remains of an older, more extensive icy layer in the region?
	Lavas over Clay-Rich Terrain To human eyes, the surface of Mars appears as various shades of red, but HiRISE is also sensitive to near-infrared light. This allows HiRISE to distinguish subtle differences in surface composition, especially in complex terrains.
