Scientific paper

A detailed geological mapping based on Magellan data has been done in Western Ishtar Terra from 300-330 deg W to 65-75 deg N. The area studied comprises three main phisiografic provinces, Atropos Tessera, Akna Montes and North-Western Lakshmi Planum. The purposes of this study are (1) to recognize the tectonism of this area and investigate its type, direction, intensity, distribution and age relationships, (2) to define the link between the formation of the Akna mountain belt and the tectonic deformation in adjacent Tessera and Lakshmi Planum.
