Mercury

Many of Mercury's basins contain smooth plains, like the lunar mare, that are believed likely to be filled with lava flows. Dazhbog Patera is a Volcanic feature on Jupiter's moon Io. Dazhbog has a Diameter of 118 Loki Patera is the largest crater on Jupiter 's moon Io, 202 km in diameter Pele is a volcano on the surface of Jupiter 's moon Io. It is named after the Hawaiian volcano goddess Pele. Tvashtar Paterae compose an active volcanic region of Jupiter 's moon Io located near the moon's north pole Alba Patera is the depression atop Alba Mons a unique volcanic feature to the north of the Tharsis region of Mars. Albor Tholus is an Extinct volcano in the Elysium Planitia area on Mars. Arsia Mons is the southernmost of three Volcanos (collectively known as Tharsis Montes) on the Tharsis bulge near the Equator of the Planet Ascraeus Mons is the northernmost of three Volcanos (collectively known as Tharsis Montes) on the Tharsis bulge near the Equator of the Planet Biblis Patera now known as Biblis Tholus It is an extinct Martian Volcano located at 2 Elysium Mons is a rather interesting Volcano on Mars located in the Elysium Planitia, at 25°N 213°W in the Martian eastern hemisphere Hecates Tholus is a Martian Volcano, notable for results from the European Space Agency 's Mars Express mission which indicate a major eruption Olympus Mons ( Latin for "Mount Olympus" is the highest known Volcano and Mountain in the Solar System. Pavonis Mons is the middle of three Volcanos (collectively known as Tharsis Montes) on the Tharsis bulge near the Equator of the Planet Syrtis Major Planum is a "dark spot" (an Albedo feature) located in the boundary between the northern lowlands and southern highlands of Mars.
