This volcano is difficult to differentiate from the other volcanoes and geological features in some images of Io. In images from the Voyager program Voyager spacecraft, this caldera is quite prominent with its dark reddish floor with a darkish halo around the caldera. However, in Galileo spacecraft Galileo images it is hard to tell where the volcano is. One would suspect that this would mean that it was inactive. But in July 1998, the Hubble Space Telescope using its NICMOS instrument detected a hotspot at Dazhbog.

They are formed by collapse of material into underground voids. Since they form chains and concentric fractures that are aligned, they are probably caused by extension of the surface. Volcanic processes made the crust pull apart. Voids were formed, then material fell into them, leaving holes. It is one of the oldest volcanoes on Mars. As a consequence of its old age, Tyrrhena Patera has many radiating gullies on its slope. When it was formed, magma may have gone through frozen ground and then eruped as easily eroded ash, instead of lava flows. ref Hartmann, W. 2003. A Traveler s Guide to Mars. Workman Publishing.
