6. Sand dunes of Matara Crater on Mars

The gullies in the sand dunes of Matara Crater are very active. One large gully in particular has had major changes in every Martian winter triggered by the seasonal dry ice frost that accumulates each year. It looks much like the sand dunes of any desserts on earth and the image of the sand dunes from Mars gives us an idea that Mars is a little much alike to our planet and maybe Elon Musk is right, Mars could be made habitable.
