Intracrater Climbing Dunes in Eastern Aonia Terra

Intracrater Climbing Dunes in Eastern Aonia Terra

Climbing Dunes of Aonia Terra
The dunes in this observation appear to climb out of an impact crater and merge with those in the plains to the north. The northeast of the part of the image overlaps with another HiRISE image we acquired in 2007. The crater also has gullies that are partially covered by the dunes.
