Dune Monitoring in Bonestell Crater

Dunes Tell in Bonestell
This observation was requested to obtain an image for dune monitoring and the onset of seasonal frost within Bonestell Crater, a relatively young crater located in Acidalia Planitia. Dust blown into the crater and the downslope movement of fine materials from the rim are slowly modifying the crater features. This image can be useful for detailed surface measurements.
