This is a radar image of a region in a vast plain to the south of Aphrodite Terra. The large circular structure near the center is a corona, about 200 kilometers in diameter, named Aine Corona. It is one of the flat-topped volcanic constructs known as "pancake" domes for their resemblance to pancakes.
