Olympus Mons is the tallest known mountain in our solar system. It is a shield volcano, the result of highly fluid lava flowing out of volcanic vents over a long period of time, and is much wider than it is tall. Olympus Mons stands 27km above the surface of Mars. http://www.spaceprime.com/olympus-mons.htm Feb 10 08, 9:27 PM
