Pre PathFinder Images of Relevance to Current Mission

• Viking 2 rocks

• Braided Stream Channels - evidence for flooding
• More evidence for fluid outflow
• Volcanoes on Mars
• Valley Marinaris on Mars plus Shield Volcanoes on horizon
• Landslide terrain - these can occur if the subsurface permafrost that supports the soil melts
