Canvas Prints from Science Photo Library
Topographic map of Venusian north polar region
Colour-coded topographic map of the region surrounding Venus north pole. The view is centred on the pole and extends down to a latitude of 20 degrees north. Yellow areas represent high ground & orange areas low ground. The yellow region just below centre is Ishtar Terra and contains Lakshmi Planum (smooth area at left) and the Maxwell Montes (rough terrain at right), the highest mountains on Venus. The rope-like ridges at upper left are thought to be tectonic in origin. The map was compiled using data from the Soviet Venera 15 & 16 spacecraft, the American Pioneer Venus spacecraft and the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vivid and detailed topographic map of the Venusian north polar region. The image presents a mesmerizing colour-coded representation of the area surrounding Venus' north pole, with its focal point centered on the pole itself and extending down to a latitude of 20 degrees north. The vibrant yellow hues indicate high ground, while orange areas represent low-lying terrain. One cannot help but be drawn to the prominent yellow region just below the center, known as Ishtar Terra. Within this expanse lies Lakshmi Planum, a smooth area visible towards the left side of the photograph, contrasting with the rougher Maxwell Montes found on the right. These towering mountains are renowned as being among Venus' highest peaks. Adding intrigue to this already fascinating landscape are rope-like ridges situated in the upper-left corner. Scientists believe these distinctive features have tectonic origins, further deepening our understanding of Venus' geological history. Compiled using data from various spacecraft missions such as Soviet Venera 15 & 16 and American Pioneer Venus, along with contributions from Puerto Rico's Arecibo radio telescope, this comprehensive map offers valuable insights into one of our neighboring planets. Its circular shape emphasizes both its planetary nature and its cosmic significance within our vast universe.
