ZDJECIE JEDNEGO Z NAJWIEKSZYCH WULKANOW MARSA This image taken the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Internet site 25 April, 2000 shows a view taken by imaging equipment on board the Mars Global Surveyor Spacecraft of Olympus Mons, one of the largest volcanoes known on Mars. It is roughly the height of 3 Mount Everests and is nearly 550 km (340 miles) across. Despite its great height, the slopes of this volcano are only a few degrees---a person would not really climb Olympus Mons, but simply walk uphill toward its summit. Once reaching the summit, however, one would peer across and down into the large complex of nested craters---or calderae---formed by collapse after eruptions ceased and magma withdrew deep beneath the volcano. Similar sights---though smaller---can be seen by visiting the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Island of Hawaii. Olympus Mons is not an active volcano. The MOC image shows that the summit region includes surfaces mantled by fine dust and pocked by small impact craters, and no surfaces exhibit fresh, dark lava flows like those seen near active volcanoes such as those in Hawaii.
