This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows a variety of dark sand dune patterns and shapes in the north polar region of Mars. Small, aligned dunes in some cases have merged to form elongated dunes. These features are located near 76.4°N, 272.9°W. The image covers an area approximately 3 km (1.9 mi) across and is illuminated by sunlight from the lower left.
