About Olympus Mons

Olympus Mons is the largest known volcano in the solar system: a shield volcano about 600 km (370 mi) across, wider than the state of Arizona. NASA puts it about 26 km (16 mi) above the plains around it, three times the height of Mount Everest.

Its slopes are gentle, typically 2 to 5 degrees, so that height is spread across hundreds of kilometers. A cliff up to 6 km (3.7 mi) high rings the base, and the summit caldera is almost 3 km (1.9 mi) deep and 25 km (16 mi) across. Telescope observers knew the bright spot as Nix Olympica, "the snows of Olympus", until Mariner 9 showed it was a volcano.
