[Volcano Maat Mons]

This three-dimensional look at the Volcano Maat Mons is a combination of Magellan's synthetic aperture radar data and radar altimetry. The view is facing the north side of the mountain. Lava flows extend hundreds of kilometers across the fractured plains in the foreground, to the base of Maat Mons. (35K) Image: NASA.
