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.
