This includes Olympus Mons, the tallest volcano in the solar system. Arsia Mons itself measures 435km (270 miles) in diameter and rises more than 9km (5.5 miles) above the surrounding plains.

Arsia Mons, though not as tall as Olympus Mons, dominates the Martian landscape with its 12-mile (20 km) height. Located in the Tharsis Montes volcanic region, this volcano is often shrouded in ...

Because of its cloud cover, Arsia Mons has been hard to photograph. This new image from NASA's 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter gives a first-of-its kind view at the peak of the volcano.

In it, Arsia Mons stands 12 miles (20 kilometers) high and measures 70 miles (450 km) in diameter. For comparison, Earth’s tallest volcano, Mauna Loa, stands 6 miles (9 km) above the seafloor ...

Arsia Mons is the southernmost of the three volcanoes that make up Tharsis Montes, shown in the center of this cropped topographic map of Mars. Olympus Mons, the solar system’s largest volcano ...

Known as Arsia Mons, the volcano dwarfs Earth’s tallest volcanoes. Odyssey, which launched on its mission about 24 years ago from Florida, snapped some photos of the volcano in May, which NASA ...

A story of Ice 🧊 and fire 🔥 These images, based on data from DLR’s #HRSC, show Aganippe Fossa at the foot of the Arsia Mons volcano on Mars. Visible in them is evidence of the extremes ...

This image shows a spectacular zone of collapse features on the southern flank of the giant shield volcano Arsia Mons (located at 239°E longitude and 10°S latitude, see the Mars map image).

Arsia Mons volcano in black and white The total height difference in the land surfaces in these scenes is about 7 kilometres, and some individual collapse pits have a depth of 2 kilometres.

Arsia Mons is 12 miles high and 270 miles wide, dwarfing Mauna Loa, Earth’s largest volcano, which is only 6.3 miles high and 75 miles wide, and mostly underwater.

Arsia Mons produced one new lava flow at its summit every 1 to 3 million years during the final peak of activity, about 50 million years ago.

The Martian volcano Arsia Mons looms nearly 6 miles above the surrounding landscape, but its peak lies off-camera in this image from the European Space Agency’s Mars Express Orbiter.
