Outcrops in the North polar Erg (Original NASA/MGS/MSSS b/w Frame)
|
Caption NASA originale:"This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image, acquired during Northern Summer in December 2004, shows dark, windblown Sand Dunes in the North Polar Erg: a vast Sea of Sand Dunes that surrounds the North Polar Cap. These landforms are located near 80,3° North Lat. and 144,1° West Long. Light-toned features in the image are exposures of the substrate that underlies the immense Erg. The image covers an area of about 3 Km (1,9 mi) wide and is illuminated by sunlight from the lower left".
Nota Lunexit: le "light-toned features", a nostro avviso, sono soltanto degli affioramenti rocciosi (Rocky Outcrops).
