Multiple lava flows off the northern slope of Sif Mons, a shield volcano located approximately 22 degrees north latitude, 352 degrees east longitude, on the northwestern end of Eistla Regio are seen in his Magellan image mosaic. The image is about 600 kilometers (360 miles) across. Descending two to three kilometers (1.2-1.8 miles) into the finger-like plains, the flows form patterns which reveal the topography and some geologic features. The flows bend in the direction of the steepest slope, turning more than 90 degrees on the plains where they eventually pond. The long flow in the center flowed around small shield volcanoes but was thin enough not to cover their peaks. Radar-bright lineations associated with the long flow to the east show where lava has been diverted into troughs. The darkness around the impact crater on the lower left side of the is characteristic of either pulverization during the initial interaction with the impacting body and the surface or the settling of particles thrown into the atmosphere after impact.
