Mars in Hi Def

In this enhanced-color image are dunes within the largest collection of dunes on Mars, Olympia Undae, near the margin of the north polar deposits, Planum Boreum. This section of Olympia Undae is particularly interesting because the dunes are rich in gypsum, a mineral that forms in the presence of water.
