Martian landscape. This HiRISE image shows the dunes of Tyrrhena. TerraTyrrhena is located northeast of the massive Hellas impact basin. In our image, there's two types of dune formation: star and barchan. While barchan dunes have slipfaces that indicate the direction of the wind, star dunes result from multiple wind is less than 5 km (3 mi) across. A unique optimised version of NASA imagery.
