A piece of Mars: It’s high summer in the northern hemisphere of Mars. Here, dark dunes near the north pole have finally lost the seasonal ice that blankets them and turns them white for most of the year. For a brief time we can see the true contrast between the dark dunes and the bright terrain they are slowly crawling over. (HiRISE ESP_026598_2650)
