Yes, it's time to Rock the Inner Geek and proclaim your love for what you consider to be what's hot and what's...well, boring in terms of planetary excitement. Criteria may include dynamicism, color, scale, grandeur, crater-counting wrist torture, budgetary reality, and whatever else you might consider relevant. I'll open with my own picks, without giving any particular reasons. (Earth can count if you like)
In descending order... Most Interesting: 1.) Io 2.) Titan 3.) Europa 4.) Enceladus 5.) Mars 6.) Triton 7.) Venus 8.) Pluto 9.) Dione 10. Iapetus Least Interesting: 1.) Rhea 2.) Luna 3.) Mercury 4.) Oberon 5.) Mimas 6.) Tethys 7.) Callisto 8.) Ganymede 9.) Earth 10.) New Jersey -------------------- ...if you don't like my melody, i'll sing it in a major key, i'll sing it very happily. heavens! everybody's all aboard? let's take it back to that minor chord...

Why would you need to place the seismic network "VERY" close to a suspected active volcano. As a first shot, you send a network of seismometer spread widely across the surface of Venus. These should be capable of working for about a year or so. This shouldn't be terribly difficult as long as you KISS, and don't add any other gizmos to the lander except the seismometer. This network could be used to identify the regions that are experiencing the most geologic activity by looking for earthquake (or venusquake) swarms. On your next shot to Venus, you send an aerobot to investigate any prime targets identified by the seismic network.
