A pancake dome also known as a lava dome is an unusual type of volcano found on the planet Venus. They are widely scattered on that planet and often form groups or clusters though with smaller numbers of pancake domes in each group than is typical for the more common shield volcanos. They are commonly found near coronae and tesserae (large regions of highly deformed terrain folded and fractured in two or three dimensions believed to be unique to Venus) in the lowland plains.
