Icaria Planum is a region on Mars in the Thaumasia quadrangle of Mars that is 566.59 km across and is located at 43.27 S and 253.96E. It was named after a classic albedo feature that was approved in 1979. The name of the classic feature was based on the land where according to greek mythology, Icarus died (Icaria).[1]
