Olympia Undae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Olympia Undae is a large dune field on the planet Mars, located next to the north polar region of Planum Boreum and covering from 100°E to 240°E. In 2006 rich gypsum deposits were detected there by the Mars Express orbiter, suggesting that the region had been wet at some point in its history.[1]
