Venus Volcanic Activity
A study reveals that Venus has more volcanic activity than previously thought, based on old radar images from NASA’s Magellan probe (1990-1992). Magellan mapped 98% of Venus’s surface, and improved computer analysis has identified new volcanic sites. Sif Mons and Niobe Planitia show recent lava flows, indicating active volcanism. The volcanoes are shield types, similar to those in Hawaii, with lava flowing from specific slopes.
