Northern Dunes (EDM - Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga/Lunexit Team)

The Dunes visible in this EDM are approximately 100 meters across and they are traversing a bumpy, hard Terrain. Polygonal Patterns are evident in some areas while numerous meter-scale Boulders are strewn throughout the whole Region. The Boulders are more numerous in areas where the Polygonal Patterns are less pronounced. Repeated imaging of this large Dunefield shall reveal whether these Dunes are presently moving (so-called "Migrating Dunes") or not.
