Did you know that the largest volcano in our solar system isn't on Earth? Olympus Mons, located on Mars, stands about 13.6 miles (22 kilometers) high, nearly three times the height of Mount Everest! This gigantic volcano covers an area roughly the size of Arizona. Its immense size is due to the lack of tectonic plate movement on Mars, allowing it to grow larger over millions of years. As we continue to explore the Red Planet, Olympus Mons serves as a reminder of the diverse and fascinating geological features our universe holds. Imagine the views from the summit — if only we could climb it!
