striking dark and bright regions

Awesome pic SEJones!
JMO, but it really, really looks like the bright area might be the receding(?) edge of the CO2 ice sheet. There is a haziness along the edge that looks to me like the edge of the sheet is sublimating, causing a 'cloud' of sorts to form there, and it looks to be seeping into the darker terrain"below".Posted

i'm wondering about magnification/field of of view of all images shown in this project. is HiRES probe consistently using same scale for each image? for example this image could be a typical fan but it may have been magnified on this occasion to such an extent that we end up seeing part of the fan. can anyone verify about consistency?

I think from memory there using two resolutions 25cm or 50cm per pixel

if this is a genuinely bigger fan then the scale of the fan could be due to angular position of terrain towards the sun so direct exposure causes more sublimation?

My money is on it being one these darker areas, similar to the ones shown here.

what i meant was that the large-scale nature of the fan could result from large-scale subimation due to seasonal effects / angular position of landmass towards the sun.
