Ovda is located in western Aphrodite Terra, and has now been mapped by the Magellan spacecraft. The morphology of highland regions on Venus varies from a high plateau surrounded by mountain belts in Ishtar Terra [1,2], highly deformed tessera terrain in Tellus and Alpha Regiones [3, 41 to volcanism and rifting in Beta Regio [S-71. Aphrodite Terra, previously imaged only by low resolution Pioneer Venus radar, has been the subject of much speculation, and is expected to reveal important information on the formation and evolution of highland terrains on Venus. Pioneer Venus topography indicates that Ovda is a 2000 x 3500 km highland region rising over 4 km above the surroundink plains. Its interior is relatively plateau-like, with steep outer margins. Pioneer Venus roughness and reflectivity data indicated that the surface may be composed of tessera-like terrain [8], while PVO gravity data gave a relatively shallow depth of compensation at Ovda [9]. Several theories have been proposed for Ovda Regio based on Pioneer Venus data.
