Daedalia Planum
Today's VIS image shows a portion of Daedalia Planum. Daedalia Planum is a huge lava flow field that originates at Arsia Mons, the southermost of the three large aligned Tharsis region volcanoes. Individual lava flows can have lengths up to almost 180 km (111 miles). The longest Hawaiian lava flow is only 51 km (31 miles). The total area of Daedalia Planum is 2.9 million square km — more than four times the size of Texas.
