About this image
At first glance, this THEMIS image showing impact craters and linear ridges and troughs is typical of the southern highlands. However, upon closer examination migrating sand dunes are observed within the troughs. Sandy material can often accumulate in these narrow depressions and become mobilized by the wind.
