Summary

DescriptionOlympus Mons alt.jpg	العربية: صُورة مُركَّبة التقطها مسبار ڤايكينغ 1 لجبل أوليمپوس على كوكب المريخ، وهذا الجبل هو أكبر وأعلى بُركان وجبل في المجموعة الشمسيَّة. English: A composite Viking orbiter image of Olympus Mons on Mars, the tallest known volcano and mountain in the Solar System. Français : Olympus Mons sur Mars, le plus grand volcan et la plus haute montagne du Système Solaire. Image composite réalisée à partir de clichés pris par la sonde Viking 1, en 1978. Русский: Изображение вулкана Олимп на Марсе, полученное из множества фотографий, сделанных аппаратом Викинг-1 22 июня 1978 года. Original caption: This image is a mosaic of Olympus Mons. The mosaic was created with the medium-resolution black and white MDIM combined with a low resolution color image mosaic acquired on the 735 orbit of Viking 1 on June 22, 1978. The cental edifice of Olympus Mons has a summit caldera 24 km above the surrounding plains. Surrounding the volcano is an outward-facing scarp 550 km in diameter and several kilometers high. Beyond the scarp is a moat filled with lava, most likely derived from Olympus Mons. Farther out is an aureole of characteristically grooved terrain, just visible at the top of the frame. Image Processing by Jody Swann/Tammy Becker/Alfred McEwen, using the PICS (Planetary Image Cartography System) image processing system developed at the U.S. Geological Survey in Flagstaff, Arizona.
