A 3D perspective view of Atete Corona, a 500-kilometer wide geological feature on Venus. Located in the Galindo region, this corona is thought to be formed by volcanism. The image is a computer-generated model from combined radar maps; the vertical dark lines are artifacts of the imaging process and not real features.
