Original - This high resolution image of the "Face on Mars" landform in the Cydonia region of Mars was taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2007, more than 20 years after Viking 1 captured the original image that gave the hill its popular name.
Edit 1 - Includes an inset of the original Viking 1 image
Reason
The highest resolution image available of the famous "face on Mars." Looks good, high EV, and just plain cool.
