Outflow Channel in South Nawka Vallis (possible Natural Colors; credits: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)
This SAR image from the Southern portion of Navka (24,4-25,3° South Latitude and 338,5-340,5° East Longitude) is a mosaic of twelve Magellan orbits that covers approx. 180 Km (about 108 miles) in width and approx. 78 Km (about 47 miles) in length. 
In the center of this image are two bright Deposits running North to South. 
These Deposits outline an Outflow Channel that flowed from an about 60-Km diameter Crater that is to the South of the Channel itself. Inside the Outflow Channel and outlined by some so-called 'Bathtub Ring' Deposits are small Cones, most likely of volcanic origin. 
At the end of the Outflow Channel, where one would expect the smallest particles to be deposited, are specular features which may represent Sand Dunes. 

Seasat and space shuttle radar images of sand dunes on Earth also show specular reflections from smooth dune faces that are near-normal to the radar beam. 
Other evidence for aeolian activity are the dark and bright Windstreaks running East to West and that formed behind the Cones. Notice how the wind changes direction from a South/East-North/West flow at the right of the image to an East-West flow at the eastern edge of the Outflow Channel.
