Prometheus (volcano)

Galileo color mosaic of the volcano Prometheus and its eruption plumes. Prometheus Patera is the kidney-shaped dark region at upper right; the magma source vent is situated in the narrow "neck" directly below it. From the latter, the western flow field stretches to the left, with most of the SO2 plumes being erupted from the flow margins at the left end.[1]

Prometheus is an active volcano on Jupiter's moon Io. It is located on Io's hemisphere facing away from Jupiter at 1°31′S 153°56′W / 1.52°S 153.94°W / -1.52; -153.94.[2]
