Scientific paper

The salient features of the Magellan mission to Venus are described together with the radar system used for mapping the Venusian features. Three types of Venusian terrain observed on Magellan images are described in detail: impact craters and two highland regions. These are Ishtar Terra (which includes Maxwell Montes) and Aphrodite Terra. The manner in which Venus's high surface temperature and its thick atmosphere have affected the processes that shaped the Venus's surface is discussed.
