Cleopatra (crater)
Encyclopedia
Cleopatra is an impact crater on Venus.
Cleopatra is a double-ring impact basin about 100 kilometres (62.1 mi) in diameter and 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) deep. A steep-walled, winding channel a few kilometers wide breaks through the rough terrain surrounding the crater rim. A large amount of lava originating in Cleopatra flowed through this channel and filled valleys in Fortuna Tessera. Cleopatra is superimposed on the structures of Maxwell Montes
and appears to be undeformed, indicating that Cleopatra is relatively young.
