About this image

This VIS image shows sand dunes on the floor of an unnamed crater located between Terra Sabaea and Utopia Planitia. The inner crater rim seen in the bottom half of the image has flow-like features. This morphology is usually indicative of material containing a volatile such as ice moving downslope.
