Rabe Dunes in IR

This image of Rabe Crater and the region around it was collected using the IR infrared camera. The brighter the material, the warmer the surface is, as shown in this view captured by NASA 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft.

This image of Rabe Crater and the region around it was collected using the IR (infrared) camera. The brighter the material, the warmer the surface is. Most dunes on Mars are dark in visible wavelengths and bright in infrared. The majority of large craters in the southern hemisphere contain dunes on the crater floor.
