A new batch of images has been released by the HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissaince Orbiter and they show several interesting features. Amonst other things, they show numerous dust devil tracks which have left criss-crossing marks on the dune field found in Richardson Crater, and the dunes are covered by seasonal carbon dioxide frost, which has only partially defrosted.
