About this image

The THEMIS VIS camera contains 5 filters. The data from different filters can be combined in multiple ways to create a false color image. These false color images may reveal subtle variations of the surface not easily identified in a single band image. Today's false color image shows a large sand sheet and dune forms at the margin of the south polar cap. The bright toned material at the bottom of the image is the polar cap.

Please see the THEMIS Data Citation Note for details on crediting THEMIS images.
