This perspective view of Venus, generated by computer from Magellan data and color-coded with emissivity, shows the boundary between the lowland plains and characteristic Venusian highland terrain in Ovda Regio, the western part of the great equatorial highland called Aphrodite Terra. lava flows decorated with a system of parallel fractures, the highlands consist mainly of 'tessera terrain' with a complex pattern of intersecting sets of subparallel fractures and ridges.
