A Piece of Mars: Most of the scene (0.96×0.54 km or 0.6×0.34 mi) is one long slope of a dune. The crest is the line in the top right; the ground below is in the bottom left. If you ever walk along a dune or beach, you’ll see small ripples that can reach up to about a meter in length. But the ripples on this dune extend from the crest to the ground – they’re more than half a kilometer (more than a third of a mile) long! (HiRISE ESP_043098_1650 NASA/JPL/Univ. of Arizona)
