re: Martian high north latitude hot spots?

Another interesting case is:

THEMIS Image Data Page for I02026005.
CENTER_LATITUDE = 39.1376
CENTER_LONGITUDE = 251.959
MINIMUM_BRIGHTNESS_TEMPERATURE = 302.213
MAXIMUM_BRIGHTNESS_TEMPERATURE = 322.192

This happens to lie in Alba Patera, the volcanic region. This image is
much more free of noise making it more likely the measurement is an
accurate one.
Here's a visible light image:

THEMIS Image Data Page for V02026006.

Again it would be interesting to find out if the highest temperature in
the IR image is reached where there is physical or geomorphological evidence of
a vent the visible light images, such as a pseudocrater for example.
