About this image

Today's VIS image shows windstreaks located in Daedalia Planum. These streaks are formed by the wind interaction with positive topographic features (like craters), with the 'tail' located down wind of the crater. The streaks in this image indicate the prevailing wind was from the right to the left side of the image (east to west).
