Geography and geology

Pavlova Corona covers a circular area of around 400 km in diameter. Pavlova Corona is one of the four major coronae of eastern Eistla Regio (Didilia, Pavlova, Ninmah, and Isong). These coronae have relatively similar structure: an uplifted concentric feature with a central dome and surrounded by a relatively flat interior floor.[3]
