Sand and Ice
Today's VIS image shows an unnamed crater located on the margin of the south polar cap. A very large mound of sand on the crater floor merges with the edge of the polar ice. The dunes in the crater appear different from other crater dunes on Mars due to the influence of ice within the sand.
