It all starts with a curiosity; The Moon with the most volcanoes in the solar system.

IO is the Moon that receives the most radiation from Jupiter, because it is closest to the large moons of Jupiter, it is the closest to the planet and not only does it receive a lot of radiation, but also due to tidal forces it is extremely hot, it is the body in the solar system with the most volcanoes per square kilometer, because the Earth actually has more active volcanoes.


IO is brutal, it has supervolcanoes, it has volcanoes of all kinds, it also has very strange things, it has mountains, but they are very very rare, this is the Campanario mountain, it was captured in one of the last approaches that this Juno spacecraft had in IO, the mountains of Io are very strange, because to begin with they are isolated, they are like islands surrounded by volcanic plains and they are very isolated.


The other characteristic is that they are extremely high, the one in the image is the bell tower mountain that is between 5 to 7 km high, in fact, they are so high that they cast a shadow as if they were a sundial, it is something tremendous, it is truly an extraterrestrial mountain, it looks like something out of a video game, those peaks They must be 1000 m high, 1 km high, it is a tower, it is as if they placed the Burj Khalifa on top of a mountain, it is something impressive.
