This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows craters and dark wind streaks on a plain on the floor of northeastern Schiaparelli Basin. The streaks indicate that dominant winds blow from the northeast (upper right). The image is located near 1.5°S, 339.8°W. Sunlight illuminates the scene from the lower left; the image covers an area 3 km (1.9 mi) wide.
