    Hi. Probably not dunes. The image is from the 'Giza' region, which is a bit near the pole for sand dunes (I think). Could be some wind erosion going on, or maybe just rough icy ground.

    Worth following the 'View HiRise Image' link (at bottom of the image) and having a look at the JPEG B&W non-map image. Some fabulous spiders, dust features, and topography in there. Cheers, 😃
