How we know wind blows down Olympus Mons’ flanks
The wind giveth and the wind taketh away

A piece of Mars: It’s similar to my last post, but I love these wind tails. This is a tiny bit of the eastern slope of the gigantic volcano, Olympus Mons. The dusty surface has been covered by boulders (the largest of which is ~20 m, or 65 ft), probably flung there from a distant meteor impact on Mars. Winds screaming from the top of the volcano (from the left) have formed wind tails in the lee of these boulders. And there are some funky little ripples on them.

I’ve had this happen before. Appreciate it
I’ve passed this on to the IT folks here. But I haven’t heard any comments from others experiencing this. Did you manage to fix it?
