The entire surface of Mars is characterized by aeolian activity with typical elements on its surface. The conditions of formation and evolution of the Martian aeolian landscapes are considered. Using the MGD3 base, a hypsometric map of the Hellas Planitia region with longitudinal dunes at a scale of 1: 100,000 was created. It is important that the study of aeolian landforms on Mars makes it possible to better understand the Martian climate and the global circulation of its atmosphere.
