Scientists Confirm Massive Lava Tubes Exist on Venus

Narrative A

Venus breaks all the rules when it comes to lava tubes, and that's precisely what makes this discovery so exciting. These massive underground tunnels rival those on the Moon in size, despite Venus having Earth-like gravity — a phenomenon that contradicts everything scientists thought they knew. The extreme pressure and heat on Venus create a unique flattening effect that produces some of the most extensive subsurface cavities in the solar system.
