This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows dark, windblown dunes on the floor of Bamburg Crater, located in the Cydonia region near 39.7°N, 3.2°W. The winds responsible for these dunes flow generally from north to south. The image covers an area about 3 km (1.9 mi) across; sunlight illuminates the scene from the lower left.
