Dunes on Floor of Crommelin Crater

Dunes on Floor of Crommelin Crater

Crommelin Dunes
This is one of many observations we acquire to aid in the classification and volume estimates of dunes in the USGS global dune database. Dunes are particularly suited to comprehensive planetary studies because they are abundant over a wide range of elevations and terrain types. Crommelin is 114 kilometers in diameter and was named after British astronomer Andrew Crommelin.
