Wiki Word:  Olympus Mons
 

 

 

Definition: The largest volcano in the solar system, which is located on Mars

 

This is the largest volcano in the solar system, and it is the size of the ENTIRE chain of the Hawaiian islands! Mars is only 1/3 the size of Earth, so this is an unusually large volcano for the small Martian landscape.
