Dunes in Crater within Meridiani Planum
Just like we saw with the Opportunity Rover so long ago (in the Summer of 2004) when it ventured into Endurance Crater, this new view shows dunes within a 1.3 km diameter crater at 0.421°S, 357.197°E. This scene lies ~185 km NE of the final resting place of Opportunity. The crater appears to be relatively young on the basis of the well-preserved layers at the top of the inner wall. However, lots of erosion may be taking place, because there are numerous gullies on this inner wall, and some of them may still be active
