Frosty Sand Dunes of Mars
A field of sand dunes occupies this frosty 5-kilometer diameter crater in the high-latitudes of the northern plains of Mars. Some dunes have separated from the main field and appear to be climbing up the crater slope along a gully-like form.
The crater floor contains a variety of textures, including lobate and striped patterns that indicate seasonal thaw caused by sublimating ice.
Image is less than 1 km (less than 1 mi) across.
