Ushas Mons is a 2-kilometer-high (1.25 mile) volcano in the southern hemisphere of Venus at 25 degrees south latitude 323 degrees east longitude. The volcano is marked by numerous bright lava flows and a set of north-south trending fractures many of which appear to have formed after the lavas were erupted onto the surface. In the central summit area however younger flows remain unfractured. An impact crater can be seen among the fractures in the upper center of the image.
