About this work

This image shows the central part of the dune field on the floor of Russell Crater, including the large dune ridge. Comparing this image to yesterday's you will see a significant difference in appearance. This image was collected at a higher incidence angle, so the sun is at a different angle to the surface. Russell Crater is located in Noachis Terra. A spectacular dune ridge and other dune forms on the crater floor have caused extensive imaging.
