About this work
This VIS image is located in Kaiser Crater and shows many individual dunes. The crater floor is visible between some of the dunes, indicating that there is a limited sand supply creating the dunes. Local winds continue to move the sand dunes across the crater floor. There are two sides to a dune, the low angle slope of the windward face and the high angle slope of the leeward side. The steep side is called the slip face.
