This image of the Venusian crater Golubkina, a 34-km (20.4 mi.) diameter impact crater located at about 60.5 degrees north latitude, 287.2 degrees east longitude, contains Magellan data mosaicked with a Soviet Venera 15/16 radar image of the sames feature. The Magellan part of the image (right) reveals details of the geology of the crater such as the central peak, the inner terraced walls, and the extremely smooth floor of the crater. The smoothness of the floor may be due to ponding of volcanic lava flows in the crater floor. The rough, blocky morphology of the crater ejecta and the sharp terraced crater wall suggest that this feature is relatively young.
