What about Alba Patera? I recall that it lies nearly exactly on the far end
of the planet when looked from Hellas. In addition, it is an old (older
than Hellas) volcanic structure and thus already had the means for more
volcanism.. so if any volcanism was induced by Hellas impact, it would
have occured there...?
