Olympus Mons levees along their margins (pictured). The cooler, outer margins of the flow solidify, leaving a central trough of molten, flowing lava. Partially collapsed lava tubes are visible as chains of pit craters, and broad lava fans formed by lava emerging from intact, subsurface tubes are also common. In places along the volcano's base, solidified lava flows can be seen spilling out into the surrounding plains, forming broad aprons, and burying the basal escarpment. Crater counts from high-resolution images taken by the Mars Express orbiter in 2004 indicate that lava flows on the northwestern flank of Olympus Mons range in age
Solar art prize Solar art prize The Solar art prize is an annual art exhibition hosted by the Royal Society of the Arts, South Australia. The prize was established by Pip Fletcher in 2010, and has consistently invited artists to respond to the subject of climate change. The event's recurring theme is "Caring for Our Planet". Artists are invited to submit new works for consideration, and various prizes are offered. Prizes include cash and sponsor offerings, including tens of thousands of dollars in credits to be redeemed on solar power system services and installations, which include solar panels, hot water systems and batteries.
