This image was taken during orbit 427 on 27 May 2004, and shows the crater with a dune field located in the north-western part of the Argyre Planitia crater basin.

This image is centred at Mars longitude 303° East and latitude 43° South. The image resolution is approximately 16.2 metres per pixel.

The colour image has been created from the HRSC’s nadir (vertical view) and three colour channels. Image resolution has been reduced for use on the internet.
