Image is rotated and the mid latitude VIMS lakes, the Southern Belet arrow storm modified area and Adiri visible in the image have been enhanced in the figure below.

Yalaing terra appears centered in the T89 outbound image (CL1 CB3) taken on February 23, 2013 (on the right). Its appearance is contrasted with an image taken on 12/20/2010 (left) from closer in. Most of the dark and light albedo changes due to the arrow storm have faded away.
