NASA apparently thinks wind alone isn’t quite enough to move the rocks
But no one knows for sure.

Worth noting that both the ice collars and likely reduction in the friction due to the fine clay at the surface likely play a role. :)

I gotta dig out my pictures from that trip too - some really nifty tracks. Unfortunately predates the good camera, but at some point we’ll get back there again. Need to do Saline Valley too for the hot springs, although apparently the roads aren’t in the best shape right now because of wet weather in July.
