This infrared image covers a portion of the surface of Mars north of Proctor Crater. The sand dunes in the bottom of the crater at the top of the image show up bright in this daytime infrared image because they are warm. The dunes are dark in color. The THEMIS infrared camera is used to detect surface and atmospheric temperatures.
