We talk about the massive volcano Olympus Mons on Mars, which is the largest volcano in the solar system. It is over 13 miles high, dwarfing even Mount Everest, and its base is as big as the country of France. The weak gravity and lack of plate tectonics on Mars have allowed this monster to grow for billions of years, unlike volcanoes on Earth. Scientists believe Olympus Mons may still be active and could have more eruptions in the future.
