Three-dimensional perspective view of the 5 km high shield volcano Maat
Mons (1°North, 194°East) and adjacent region, made by combining
imaging and altimetric data from Magellan. The vertical scale has been exaggerated
tenfold (to show the topography more clearly), so in reality slopes are
much more gentle than implied here. The impact crater in the right foreground
has a diameter of 23 km.
