Intracrater Climbing Dunes in Eastern Aonia Terra

Intracrater Climbing Dunes in Eastern Aonia Terra

Climbing Dunes in Eastern Aonia Terra
These dunes appear to climb out of this impact crater and merge with those in the plains to the north (top). The crater also has gullies that are partially covered by the dunes, along with a gorgeous array of swirling dust devil tracks. The northeast of the part of this image overlaps with another HiRISE observation.
