About this image

With the extensive amount of dust and sandy materials on Mars, dunes are a pervasive feature. Many dunes are small, like the ones in this VIS image. The bright "squiggles" in this image are small dunes. The large hill is actually part of a long, ridge system called Oenotria Scapuli.
