Quetzalpetlatl Corona ( 850 km in diameter) and Boala Corona ( 350 km 250 km in diameter), are both situated within the Lada Terra rise, a prominent 2000-km-wide circular topographic feature rising 2.5–3 km above the mean planetary radius in the southern hemisphere of Venus, south of the Lavinia Planitia lowlands. Together these features form a unique configuration that combines the characteris...
