Caldera and Elysium. Each province contains a series of giant shield volcanoes that are similar to what we see on Earth and likely are the result of mantle hot spots. The surfaces are dominated by lava flows, and all have one or more collapse calderas. Mars has the largest volcano in the Solar System, Olympus Mons, which is more than three times the height of Mount Everest, with a diameter of 520 km (323 miles). The summit of the mountain has six nested calderas. Because there is no plate tectonics on Venus, heat is mainly lost by conduction through the lithosphere.
Mons Huygens Mount Fuji, which overlooks Tokyo, Japan, is about altitude. Compared to the Andes, Mons Huygens would rank outside the hundred tallest peaks, being roughly the same height as Argentina's Cerro Pajonal; the peak is higher than any above sea level in Oceania, but base-to peak it is considerably shorter than Hawaii's Mauna Kea and its neighbors. Mons Huygens Mons Huygens is the Moon's tallest mountain (but not its highest point). It is about high and is located in the Montes Apenninus. The Montes Apenninus were formed by the impact that created Mare Imbrium. Adjacent is Mons Ampère to the west.
