189-Venus-Surface 189-venus-surface-dixon – This dramatic painting depicts the hellish and volatile environment on the surface of Venus. A massive active volcano erupts on the rugged horizon, spewing a thick, billowing column of dark ash into a heavy, oppressive atmosphere choked with dense sulfuric acid clouds.
