About this globe

Io is the most volcanically active body in the solar system — Jupiter's gravity kneads the moon like dough, melting its interior. The yellows, oranges and blacks are sulfur and fresh lava, mapped by NASA's Galileo and Voyager missions.

There are no impact craters here: eruptions repave the entire surface faster than craters can accumulate.
