Every year we see new slumps on dune slip faces at high northern latitudes, and old slumps are erased by windblown sand. This image was acquired as part of a joint study with MRO’s Mars Climate Sounder (MCS), to determine if the rate of slumping seen by HiRISE corresponds to winter snowfall tracked by MCS.
Below is a non-narrated HiClip mini of the full observation.
