MGS MOC Release No. MOC2-458, 20 August 2003
This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows a field of dark sand dunes trapped on the floor of a crater near Cerberus at 8.6°N, 190.9°W. The local winds within the crater have shaped these dunes such that they all reflect a general trend of sand transport toward the west and southwest (left/lower left). This image covers an area 3 km (1.9 mi) across. Sunlight illuminates the scene from the left/lower left.
