This image is not an entrance to an underground Martian home.

Although this image appears to show a giant landlubber jellyfish, it is unfortunately nothing of the sort. Here, HiRise has captured a barchan (crescent-shaped) dune, observed in a northern region of Mars where in recent years the landforms have been found to be shrinking.
