Surface of Venus. 3D computer-generated composite radar image showing a portion of western Eistla Regio area of the surface of Venus. Here, lava flows can be seen extending for hundreds of kilometres across the fractured plains in the foreground to the base of the Gula Mons volcano (upper left). Image composed of synthetic aperture radar data obtained by the Magellan spacecraft, combined with radar altimetry and ray tracing to simulate a perspective view.
