Features on Io are named after characters and places from the Io myth, as well as deities of fire, volcanoes, the Sun, and thunder from various myths, and characters and places from Dante's "Inferno": names appropriate to the volcanic nature of the surface. Since the surface was first seen up close by "Voyager 1", the International Astronomical Union has approved 225 names for Io's volcanoes, mountains, plateaus, and large albedo features. The approved feature categories used for Io for different types of volcanic features include "patera" ("saucer"; volcanic depression), "fluctus" ("flow"; lava flow), "vallis" ("valley"; lava channel), and active eruptive center (location where plume activity was the first sign of volcanic activity at a particular volcano). Named mountains, plateaus, layered terrain, and shield volcanoes include the terms "mons", "mensa" ("table"), "planum", and "tholus" ("rotunda"), respectively. Named, bright albedo regions use the term "regio". Examples of named features are Prometheus, Pan Mensa, Tvashtar Paterae, and Tsũi Goab Fluctus.
