The Blue Dunes of Abalos Undae
This image shows an area about half a kilometer across in the Abalos Undae region of Mars, found near the ice-rich north polar layered deposits. The dunes are not really blue. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s cameras are sensitive to wavelengths beyond what the human eye can see, and here the bluish color indicates the dunes are composed of basaltic material.
