Those Climbing Dunes

This observation featrues some awesome little barchan train climbing up a gully in Hebes Chasma. One of our science goals is to quantify annual changes, sand fluxes and monitor nearby recurring slope lineae. Hebes Chasma is an isolated chasma just north of the Valles Marineris canyon system of Mars.
