Ozza Mons is an inactive 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][5] However, interpreting these types of observations from above the cloud layer correctly is a challenge.[6][7]
