[edit]DescriptionClose view of dune network ESP 031138 1380 02.jpg |
English: Field of intersecting dunes, as seen by HiRISE under HiWish program This image was named HiRISE picture of the day. NASA wrote the following caption for this image: Polygons are of great interest because they often indicate the presence of shallow ice or of desiccation such as in a mud flat. However, Nature sometimes seems too clever for us.
Polygons form by the intersecting ridges of sand dunes. If this deposit were to become indurated and eroded, we might not be able to tell that they originated as wind-blown dunes, and interpret the polygons as evidence for a dried-up lake, for example. Dunes often accumulate in the bottoms on craters, also a good setting for a (temporary) lake. The illumination is coming from the upper left, so the bluish ridges are high-standing.
