The image shows an area of the equatorial region of Mars covering approximately 28.000 km², which is almost the size of Belgium. The region exhibits several kilometer long linear structures with interspersed channels. The entire area shows impressive examples for the erosional force of wind on Mars. Although Mars‘ atmosphere is rather thin compared to the Earth’s atmosphere - just 0.75% of the mean surface pressure, which corresponds to an altitude of about 35 Kilometers above earth’s surface - it can be very dynamic and plays a major role in shaping the red planet‘s landscape over a long period of time.
