Dunes in Abalos Undae (edm - possible True Colors; credits: Lunexit)
This enhanced-color close-up (1,2 Km across) shows an example of dunes in Abalos Undae.
The enhanced color data illuminate differences in composition: the dunes appear of a green/bluish color because of their basaltic composition, while the reddish-white areas are probably covered in dust and residual ice. Upon close inspection, tiny ripples and grooves are visible on the surface of the dunes (both ripples and grooves are formed by wind action, as are the dunes themselves).

It is possible that these dunes are no longer migrating (the process of dune formation forces dunes to move in the direction of the main winds) and that the tiny ripples are the only active parts of the dunes today.
