Calderas And Cliffs Near Io's South Pole
The Galileo spacecraft braved intense radiation to fly past Io, Jupiter's volcanic moon. This dramatic view near Io's south pole combines high-resolution black and white images with color data. The bright white areas are likely sulfur dioxide frost, concentrated near ridges and cliffs. The three dark spots are calderas, hinting at Io's active, alien landscape.
