GEOLOGIC MAP OF GALINDO QUAD, V-40 VENUS

Additional Details

Description

The Galindo quadrangle was geologically mapped at 1:5,000,000 scale as part of a project focused on the study of venusian geologic terrains. The map was generated by the radar image-data base gathered by the Magellan spacecraft, launched May 4, 1989. The Galindo quadrangle is named after impact crater Galindo and shows a complex area containing a mixture of different types of volcanic constructs, fracture zones, and plains. The map area contains one of the deepest sections of Parga Chasma, a fractured depression that trends northwest across the south half of the map area. Parga Chasma varies greatly in depth up to 3 km and is approximately 1,870 km long.
