Investigations of Venus made during recent years revealed a number of phenomena which still remain unexplained. These phenomena include electrical activity of the atmosphere, a bimodal distribution of particles in Venusian clouds and variability of properties of the upper cloud layer as indicated by polarimetric and radiometric methods. The evidence that volcanic activity on the planet can explain all the mentioned phenomena is reviewed. For example, the observed electrical discharges are grouped along definite young mountain regions. The low position of the field sources and their fixed positions relative to the planetary surface strongly suggest that the discharges are related to natural relief, in all probability to volcanic eruptions. Although there is no direct evidence of Venusian volcanism, there appears to be no other explanation for the concentration of sources of electromagnetic pulses detected by instrumentation aboard spacecraft. Other indirect evidence of Venusian volcanism is presented. If the observed changes in haze concentration above the cloud layer are actually related to volcanism, polarimetric measurements from the Earth might be used in monitoring volcanic activity on Venus.
