Silpium Mons

Silpium Mons is a mountain on Jupiter's moon Io.

It is a striated ridge, meaning it is an elevated structure dominated by one or more prominent linear or arcuate rises.

[1] It is named after a location in Greece where the mythological Io died of grief.

[3] Its proximity to Svarog and Viracocha Paterae has been suggested to be evidence for a structural relationship between mountains and calderas on Io.
