Danube Planum (Io)

Where Io passed by in her wanderings.

Danube Planum is a rifted mesa on the surface of Jupiter's moon Io. It is located on Io's trailing hemisphere at 22.73°S 257.44°W / -22.73; -257.44. Danube Planum is 244.22 kilometers across and 5.5 km tall. The mountain is bisected by a 15-to-25-kilometer-wide, northeast-southwest-trending canyon, splitting the mountain into two main east and west mountains, with several additional blocks at the southern end of the fracture. (wikipedia entry)

A planum is a plateau or high plain. On Io they are named after places associated with Io myth, places from Dante’s Inferno, or derived from a nearby named feature.
