斯姆雷卡尔指出金星上的火山甚至现在都可能是活跃的，但是还没有数据能确认这一点。
Smrekar pointed out that the volcanoes could even be currently active, but that there is no data to confirm that.
然后斯姆雷卡尔的研究团队分析了由可见光与红外热成像光谱仪(VIRTIS)观测到的其中三个活跃地区的数据。
Smrekar's team then analyzed data for three hot spots observed by the Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS).
“这些明显很‘年轻’的岩石与每个火山活跃地区的‘最年轻’的火山熔岩流相对应，使我们能够自信地判定这些岩石是在新近的火山活动期间形成的，”斯姆雷卡尔说。
"These apparently young rocks correspond to the youngest volcanic flows in each hot-spot region, giving us confidence that they formed during recent volcanic activity," Smrekar said.
