Good call, Laser Jock! Now that I look closer, it's appearent that the Viking composite was taken at an angle, while the MOC image was taken from directly above.

I'm also wondering about the angle of the Sun when BOTH images were taken. if the Sun angle was not the same...which I don't think it was...then that might cause "changes" in the Martian topography.
