Summary

edit
Description
English: The goal of this observation is to monitor the defrosting of these dunes (or dust ridges?) for the next Martian spring. The dunes have pits that change from year to year—due to sublimating seasonal frost? Note the dust devil tracks running across the scene.

Image cutout is less than 5 km (3 mi) across and the spacecraft altitude was 252 km (156 mi). For full observation details including images with scale bars, visit the source link.
