This spectacular area was first imaged from the Context Camera, also onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. That camera has a wider footprint than HiRISE, but much lower resolution, so when we see interesting features in their images, we can use our camera to get a closer look.
This image shows what appear to be flows of some kind within the 138-kilometer diameter Moreux Crater. In addition to studying some of the dunes, Moreux is noted for extensive glacial modification near the rim, walls and here at the central peak.
