Explanation:
Volcanic activity on Mars has produced towering mountains.
The largest one, Olympus Mons, is pictured here
in this
Viking Orbiter image.
Olympus Mons is a shield volcano nearly 15 miles high and over 300 miles
wide at its base.
By comparison,
Earth's largest volcano, Mauna Loa in Hawaii, is just over 5 miles high
and about 12 miles wide.
For more information about volcanic mountains on Mars see Calvin J. Hamilton's Mars page.
The exploration of Mars is chronicled by the Center For Mars Exploration.
