Maxwell Montes, the highest mountains on Venus, present perplexing questions to scientists, namely, how did they evolved and why do they still exist? Athough it will take years to examine all the data provided by the Magellan spacecraft from its four-year orbit around Venus, it is hoped that the information may provide, some understanding into the processes of planetary tectonics and mountain evolution. Applying this knowledge to Earth's planetary evolution is one advantage gained from this study. Three radar imagery mapping pictures of Maxwell Montes are shown.
