I found this image of Mars while reading up on Olympus Mons. I see these huge volcanoes and I think we had better take care of the #Earth because We would be better off building an additional Moon to orbit Earths Moon in the Goldilocks Zone than building a civilization near these monsters in the freezing cold. taking bets on whether those are asleep or dead #volcanoes. not pictured is Alba Mons which isnt as tall, but is much wider that #Olympusmons these volcanoes are as big as US states. #Mars

Von wegen trocken: Auf den Gipfeln von Olympus Mons und anderen großen Marsvulkanen haben Planetenforscher Raureif entdeckt – es ist der erste Nachweis von Wassereis am Äquator des Mars. #Mars #Marsvulkan #Tharsis #OlympusMons

Olympus Could Have Been a Giant Volcanic Island in an Ancient Martian Ocean

Olympus Mons is the tallest volcano in the Solar System, towering over the parched Martian landscape. But scientists believe that oceans once covered Mars. Was Mars once like the giant shield volcanoes in the Hawaiian islands poking out from the ocean? New research shows that the giant volcano has similar features to Earth's volcanic islands, where the ocean might have contacted the lava flows. Other giant volcanoes on Mars have similar weathering, and a vast ocean might have covered the whole region.
