Venus is a planet with striking surface characteristics. Most of what is known about its surface stems from radar observations, mainly images sent by the Magellan probe between August 16, 1990 and the end of its sixth orbital cycle in September 1994. Ninety-eight percent of the planet's surface was mapped, 22% of it in three-dimensional stereoscopic images.The surface of Venus is covered by a dense atmosphere and presents clear evidence of former violent volcanic activity.
