    Olympus Mons is the tallest mountain in our Solar System.
    This giant volcano is located on Mars. Its base covers the same amount of land as Arizona and it is three times taller than Mount Everest.
    If you strapped on your space suit and managed to make it all the way to the summit of Olympus Mons, what would you see?

    If you were to climb the highest mountain in the Solar System, you would be climbing Olympus Mons on Mars. It stands at a height of approximately 22 km (13.67 miles) which is about three times taller than Mount Everest. The mountain is a shield volcano and is not only the highest mountain in the solar system, but also the largest volcano and the second highest mountain of any kind in the Solar System, after Rheasilvia central peak on asteroid Vesta.
    Climbing Olympus Mons would be a very challenging and dangerous task. The thin atmosphere of Mars would make it difficult to breathe, and the extreme cold temperatures would make it difficult to survive. Additionally, the mountain is made of volcanic rock, which could be unstable and difficult to climb. The trip from Earth would also be challenging, as it would take several months to travel to Mars and the technology for landing and climbing is not yet fully developed.
