This enhanced color image (using the red-green-blue filter) shows a group of lovely barchan dunes along a scarp (cliff) in Chasma Boreale in the North Pole of Mars.

Our primary goal is to track for seasonal changes over time. Image cutout is less than 1 km (under a mile) across and the spacecraft altitude was 197 km. For full images including scale bars, visit the source link.
