Aphrodite Terra

Aphrodite is an enormous continent on the surface of Venus. This image, from the Magellan spacecraft taken in 1991, features this bright region in its center. Venus is known to have been an extremely volcanically active planet throughout its history, though whether or not there is still any active tectonics remains a mystery.
