This image shows a collection of volcanic features given the colorful nickname “pancake domes.” The steep sides of these features and their apparent emplacement in a single episode of volcanism has led to models of formation that seem to require a highly viscous, perhaps silicic, magma. These particular domes are located just southeast of Alpha Regio at 30°S, 12°E and can be seen in the slide of that region (see slide #12).
