- Nine active volcanos in total
- were seen with the Voyager. The
- blue dimple on the limb is one
- such volcano caught in the
- very act.

- The sulfur-dioxide plumes were
- cast up to 190 miles in altitude
- and would land as far as 370 miles
- away. Each eruption would deposit
- about 10,000 tons of sulfur on
- the surface. At this rate,
- combined with surface
- flows, the entire planet can
- be resurfaced with a foot
- of material in only 3000 years.
