Abalos Undae

 * ... that the Martian dunes of the Abalos Undae (pictured) may have formed from erosion of Rupes Tenuis, the polar scarp? Source1: quote: "The Abalos Undae dune field stretches westward, away from a portion (Abalos Colles) of the ice-rich north polar layered deposits that is separated from the main Planum Boreum dome by two large chasms. These dunes are special because their sands may have been derived from erosion of the Rupes Tenuis unit (the lowest stratigraphic unit in Planum Boreum, beneath the icier layers during formation of the chasms.)" Source2: quote: "Today's image location is slightly east of Monday's image. In this image the polar scarp (called Tenuis Rupes) bisects the image."

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Length is good, article seems solid, nice image. I made a few tiny tweaks to grammar, and also added the see also and external links sections. The hook is good, too. -Kieran (talk) 19:07, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
