  Title: Magellan radar image of Lavinia Region of Venus
  Description:
  This Magellan radar image is part of the first set of data collected in the 
  normal operating mode, 09-15-90.  These fault-bounded troughs were imaged
  by  Magellan on orbit 377.  Shown is part of the Lavinia Region, 60 degrees
  south  latitude and 347 degrees east longitude.  The area is 28 kilometers
  (17  miles) wide and 75 kilometers (46 miles) long.  It is at the
  intersection of  two tectonic trends.  An extensive set of east-west
  trending fractures  extends to the west (left) and a second set extends to
  the south-southwest  (lower right).  The lines of pits suggests some
  igneous or volcanic activity  accompanying the faulting.  View provided by
  the Jet Propulsion Laboratory  (JPL) with alternate number P-36644.
