About Ascraeus Mons

Ascraeus Mons is the northernmost and tallest of the three Tharsis Montes, a row of giant volcanoes on Mars. DLR gives it a height of about 18 km (59,000 ft) and a width of about 480 km (300 mi), which makes it the second-highest mountain on Mars after Olympus Mons.

The three volcanoes are each more than 10 km (6 mi) high and line up over more than 1,000 km (620 mi) from northeast to southwest on the Tharsis bulge, which itself rises almost 5 km (3 mi) above the terrain around it. Ascraeus takes its name from Ascraeus Lacus, a feature on old telescope maps of Mars.
