Tharsis

cults3d

Mars boasts the largest volcanic region, Tharsis Montes, spanning approximately 2,400 miles in width and standing at a height of around 6 miles. This colossal volcanic system is comprised of no less than 12 massive shield volcanoes, with summits that match the elevation of Olympus Mons, the biggest volcano within the Tharsis range. While not the largest among its peers, Arsia Mons proudly holds the title for the biggest caldera on Mars, boasting a diameter of an impressive 75 miles. A striking contrast emerges when comparing Martian and Earthly volcanoes: size and freshness are the defining characteristics that set them apart. The Tharsis region's volcanoes tower above their earthly counterparts by as much as 100 times in sheer scale. This model is rendered with a 6x vertical exaggeration for added visual impact.
