First Pictures
The first pictures are coming in from the Mars Phoenix Lander (only on television nothing on the web yet). From the looks of things, Phoenix managed to miss any rocks and the area that we've seen (so far) actually looks very flat. Can't tell if the surface is ice and dirt mixed, ice covered by dirt, dirt-colored ice or what. One picture being displayed is of a landing pad, it does not appear to have sunk into the ground much (if at all).
UPDATE: Raw image, taken directly from television, now available.
