Hot spots on the surface of Venus, which may prove to be active volcanoes are discussed. The automatic stations Venera-15 and Venera-16 are conducting studies of the planet nearest to use, from orbits as Venus satellites. A 60 meter dish antenna is receiving radio signals from Venus. In addition to pictures of the surface of the previously unexplored polar region, we have obtained a thermal map of practically the entire Northern Hemisphere of Venus. Vast areas in which the temperatures recorded by the radiometer are below the average temperatures for Venus (about 500 degrees Celsius) are shown. These are lava covered regions. Several hot spots with a temperature of about 700 degrees Celsius are discovered. New pictures of the planet's surface show geological formations resembling those on Earth. The pictures are to be matched with the thermal map of Venus for analysis.
