Arcadia Planitia is a smooth plain with fresh lava flows and Amazonian volcanic flows on Mars. It was named by Giovanni Schiaparelli in 1882 after the Arcadia region of ancient Greece.It dates from the Amazonian period’s Arcadia formation’s lava flows and small cinder cones. It includes a more recently developed large region of aeolian materials derived from periglacial processes.
