Cebrenia Quadrangle - Physiography and Geology

Physiography and Geology

The quadrangle's prominent features are the large craters Mie and Stokes, a volcano, Hecates Tholus, and a group of mountains, Phlegra Montes. This area is a flat, smooth plain for the most part, so the relatively large craters Mie and Stokes really stand out. The Galaxias Region has an area of chaos, where the ground seems to have collapsed.

Viking II (part of Viking program) landed near Mie on September 3, 1976. Its landing coordinates were 48° N and 226° W.
