Are the Viking Lander sites representative of the surface of Mars
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the global remote sensing data of the Martian surface collected by earth and satellite-based instruments with data from the two Viking Landers to determine if the Lander data are representative of the global Martian surface.
