0xBASE INTEL BRIEF

Metallic dunes in Kaiser Crater imaged by Mars Express
Dunes reach over 100 m, shaped by westerly winds
Frost and basaltic sand create shiny appearance

"ESA's Mars Express orbiter has imaged a field of metallic-looking dunes within Kaiser Crater on Mars. The HRSC camera captured barchan and transverse dunes shaped by wind, with a shiny appearance due to frost deposits. The region, Noachis Terra, is ancient highlands with impact craters."
