Top Image:  This image is in the shape of the waist area of a human.  The sides are curved inward.  The top left corner is white with a few circles, which are craters.  Everything else in the images is darker hue due to the shadow cast by a crater wall. The middle area of the image is greenish-blue and has features that are jagged and steep that look like crevices of human molar teeth.  The bottom third of the image is flat and smooth compared to the rest of the image. Bottom Image:  This image is in the shape of the waist area of a human.  The sides are curved inward.   The base of the image is a deep red with a little brighter red in the upper right. Everything else is darker due to the shadow cast by a crater wall.  The middle area is pixelated with thick cloud-like shapes of blue that cover the red.  A few pixels of green dot the image in a small vertical line in the center of the image and to the far right, going up and down the image. Seasonal Frost on Mars - 12/22/2006
