Olympus Mons, Largest Volcano In The Solar System


I cannot take credit for this photo . It is such an awesome feature of Mars that I have to pass it on.

This volcano is 374 miles in diameter and almost 16 miles high. Mount Everest is about 6 miles high and the state of Arizona is about 370 miles in diameter.

Truly an amazing geologic formation on any planet !!!!!
