This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows very heavily wind-streaked slopes in an area near southern Claritas Fossae. Wind rushing down slopes toward the lower left has moved fine sediment to create these patterns. This is located near 25.3°S, 109.7°W, and covers an area 3 km (1.9 mi) wide. Sunlight illuminates the scene from the lower left.
