HiRISE captured this image of an eroded mesa made famous by its similarity to a human face in a Viking Orbiter image with much lower spatial resolution and a different lighting geometry.
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

I see no face.
I do.
Really? In that picture, or in some other picture of the same mountain? I'm not intending a useless distinction here. I'm pointing out that this image would be unlikely to arouse any interest if not for the previous pics. Maybe you or others have a great explanation for that.
Still a face. And it looks to me like the mouth is laughing at us in this one.
It's not too difficult to make out the salient facial features, especially on the left-hand side. There's a brow, an eye, a "muzzle," a parted mouth, and a chin. However, I'm the first to admit that the resemblance is more immediate to those who've seen earlier images.
