Ozza Mons

Ozza Mons
Feature type	Volcano
Coordinates	4°30′N 201°00′E / 4.5°N 201°E
Diameter	507 km

Ozza Mons is an inactive shield volcano on planet Venus near the equator.^[2]

Four temporally variable surface hotspots were discovered at the Ganiki Chasma rift zone near volcanoes Ozza Mons and Maat Mons in 2015, suggestive of present volcanic activity.^[3]^[4] However, interpreting these types of observations from above the cloud layer correctly is a challenge.^[5]
