Craters-Unnamed_Crater-VB-PIA18240-PCF-LXTT-IPF.jpgUnnamed Crater with Dunefield (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga/Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation)110 visiteIn this VIS image, taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter on April, 3rd, 2014, and during its 54.212th orbit around the Red Planet, we can see a so-called "Sand Sheet" - with extremely dark Surface Dune-like Landforms (actually the aformentioned Dune-like Landforms are just Ripples, very similar to the ones that we have seen inside the relatively small Impact Crater known as "Endurance", visited, a few years ago, by the NASA - Mars Exploration Rover (or "MER", for short) Opportunity and found in the Peri-Equatorial Martian Region of Meridiani Planum) - that covers the entire Floor of an Unnamed Impact Crater located at a very high Northern Latitude, not too far away from the North Polar Cap.
The gray/white-colored area that completely surrounds this Unnamed Impact Crater and which, then, goes toward the North/West, could (and should) be, in our opinion, as IPF, the initial portion of a large and long Windstreak.

This image (which is a crop taken from an Original Mars Odyssey Orbiter b/w and Map-Projected frame published on the NASA - Planetary Photojournal with the ID n. PIA 18240) has been additionally processed, magnified to aid the visibility of the details, contrast enhanced, Gamma corrected and then colorized in Absolute Natural Colors (such as the colors that a human eye would actually perceive if someone were onboard the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter and then looked down, towards the Surface of Mars), by using an original technique created - and, in time, dramatically improved - by the Lunar Explorer Italia Team.MareKromium

Fienga/Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation)70 visiteThe highly suggestive Dunefield visible in this VIS image taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter during its 46719th orbit around the Red Planet is just a small portion of the gigantic Dunefield (or "Erg" ---> Sea of Sand) that encircles most part of the North Pole of Mars. The bright round spot visible on the lower left (Sx) side of the frame should be just a patch of permanent ice which is located (and therefore, somehow, protected) inside a relatively shallow depression of the Surface - possibly (but we have no way to be sure), an almost rimless and very old Impact Crater.
