Marius Hills

The Marius Hills are a large volcanic region on the Moon within the Mare Tranquillitatis, featuring numerous volcanic domes and cones formed by past lava flows. These domes are relatively young compared to other lunar features, indicating ongoing or recent volcanic activity. The area provides valuable insights into the Moon’s volcanic history and geological processes, offering clues about its interior and evolution. The Marius Hills are also notable for their clarity and accessibility for scientific study, making them a significant site for lunar research and potential future exploration missions.
