Thanx Andrew. As usual, you find the greatest stuff! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John. Monsters.

Hi MeteorWayne,<br /><br />I was trying to assist Bob Clark in finding related images.<br /><br />But I just love trawling through planetary images, so I am pleased to be<br />of service.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind comments.<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

Thanks for those images, Andrew. Actually I wanted to write about one of them for a separate topic.<br /> It appears under the thread title "North polar geysers?"<br /><br /><br /> Bob Clark <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Andrew, do you know the lat. and long. of those volcanoes in the Mars Express images?<br /> Also, the locations of those volcanic landforms I cited from the LPSC abstracts in my first post do lie near the presumed origin of the meltwater channel.<br /><br /> See the attached image below, taken from:<br /><br />NEAR-POLAR CRATERED CONES ON MARS: MOLA MEASUREMENTS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR<br />VOLCANIC ORIGINS. J. B. Garvin1 and S. E. H. Sakimoto2, 1NASAÕs Goddard Space Flight Center, Geodynamics<br />Branch, Code 921, Greenbelt, MD 20771, ****@denali.gsfc.nasa.gov, 2USRA at NASAÕs Goddard Space Flight Center, Geodynamics Branch, Code 921, Greenbelt, MD 20771, ****@denali.gsfc.nasa.gov <br />Lunar and Planetary Science XXX 1492.pdf<br />http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/LPSC99/pdf/1492.pdf<br /><br /><br /><br /> Bob Clark<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Another volcanic landform near the presumed origin of the north polar meltwater channel is attached below.<br /><br /> Taken from:<br /><br />MORPHOLOGY OF SOME SMALL MARS NORTH-POLAR VOLCANIC EDIFICES FROM VIKING IMAGES AND MOLA TOPOGRAPHY. <br />H. M. Wright1, S. E. H. Sakimoto2, and J. B. Garvin3, 1 ECO at USGS, 345 Middlefield Rd., MS 977, Menlo Park, CA 94025 (****@core2.gsfc.nasa.gov), 2USRA at NASA's GSFC, Code 921, Greenbelt, MD 20771, 3NASA's GSFC, Code 921, Greenbelt, MD 20771.<br />Lunar and Planetary Science XXXI 1894.pdf<br />http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2000/pdf/1894.pdf<br /><br /> Note that by "origin" of the meltwater channel I don't mean the terminus that is visible in the image of it I posted. The terminus is the part where it breaks up into two large branches, that is close to the large sulfate deposit.<br /> The origin would be outside of the image, beyond the bottom edge of the image. The bottom edge of the image is at about 270E (90W).<br /> So the origin of the channel would be longitude further east than 270E, so might be around 300E, the approximate location of the volcanic landforms.<br /><br /><br /> Bob Clark<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Hi Bob,<br /><br />Whilst I do not have the EXACT co-orbinates, from MGS imagery & finding similarites between<br />both data sets, & can quite confidently say<br /><br />Between 82 & 86 degrees north & about 30 to 40 degrees West.<br /><br />Involved quite a bit of detective work!!!!!!!<br /><br />Thank you for your last posts. Very interesting.<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.
