Abalos Undae is a dune field on Mars in the periphery of the Planum Boreum, the Martian North pole.[1] It is located in the southwest channel that separates the Abalos Colles formation remnant from the main ice cap.[1][2] The dunes of the Abalos field may have formed from erosion of Rupes Tenuis, the polar scarp.[1] The dunes are considered stationary as a unit, with only small ripple movements present.[1]
