THEMIS: Dark dune in Terra Sabaea crater

Crater dune in Terra Sabaea (THEMIS_IOTD_20160812)THEMIS Image of the Day, August 12, 2016. The large isolated dune in this VIS image is located on the floor of an unnamed crater in Terra Sabaea. Its dark tone suggests that the dune sand is largely dust-free, probably because the wind is moving the sand grains currently.
