The largest known volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons
June 4, 1998 - A digital mosaic of Olympus Mons, the largest known volcano in the Solar System. It is 27 kilometers high, over 600 kilometers at the base, and is surrounded by a well-defined scarp that is up to 6 km high. Lava flows drape over the scarp in places. Much of the plains surrounding the volcano are covered by the ridged and grooved aureole of Olympus Mons. The origin of the aureole is controversial, but may be related to gravity sliding off of the flanks of an ancestral volcano. The summit caldera (central depression) is almost 3 km deep and 25 km across. It probably formed from recurrent collapse following drainage of magma resulting from flank eruptions

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the awe-inspiring grandeur of Olympus Mons, the largest known volcano in our Solar System. Standing at a staggering 27 kilometers high and with a base spanning over 600 kilometers, this colossal volcanic wonder dominates the Martian landscape like no other. The digital mosaic showcases the intricate details of this majestic volcano, revealing its well-defined scarp that reaches heights of up to 6 kilometers. Lava flows gracefully drape over the escarpment, creating mesmerizing patterns on its surface. The surrounding plains are adorned with a ridged and grooved aureole, whose origin remains a subject of scientific debate but is thought to be linked to gravity sliding off an ancestral volcano's flanks. Atop Olympus Mons lies its summit caldera - a central depression nearly 3 kilometers deep and 25 kilometers across. This basin-like feature likely formed through recurrent collapses following magma drainage resulting from flank eruptions. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image taken from space, we are reminded of the vastness and diversity within our solar system. The vibrant colors and detailed textures bring forth an appreciation for the wonders beyond our planet's boundaries. This print by Stocktrek Images serves as both a testament to human curiosity about distant worlds and as a visual feast for those captivated by nature's remarkable creations.
