Boundary between Vastitas Borealis Polygon Terrain and Erg

Boundary between Vastitas Borealis Polygon Terrain and Erg

Boundaries of Light and Dark
We want to investigate the contrasting boundary of the polygon terrain of Vastitas Borealis and a sand sheet. There is also a highly degraded crater to the south that could give insight into how the periglacial environment is influenced by the polar regions.
