Mars Photo of the Day - Sept 29 2011

Today's Mars Photo shows an area recently crossed by numerous dust devils. Dust devils are similar to small tornadoes and are common on Mars. The dark veins are the result of dust devils picking up bright dust and exposing the darker, less dusty surface. 

The image below links the original image which has a captioned provided by the HiRISE team.
