HiPOD: Week of 26 January 2026

	Channels in Flaugergues Crater The objective of this obsevation is to examine small channels in the southwestern portion of Flaugergues Crater. These channels appear to be in within ejecta, so perhaps they formed from ejecta heat-melting ground ice. Flaugergues is about 245 kilometers in diameter and was named after Honore Flaugergues, a French astronomer (1755-1835).
	Crevassed Glacier-Like Forms This observation is part of a global Mars campaign to look at glacier-like formations that show crevasse-like fractures on their surfaces. This image can be used for a study of fracture mechanics in viscous flow features on Mars.
