Olympus Mons

Right.

And the Tharsis bulge isn't just a normal mountain range, it is a massive volcanic plateau roughly the size of North America, and it features shield volcanoes like Olympus Mons that rise over 20 kilometers into the sky.

20 kilometers.

That is more than twice the height of Mount Everest.

Question number two.

Where will you find the Olympus Mons? The Olympus Mons.

[clock ticks] Uh, no idea.

Okay.

Oh.

Uh, question number two.

Where will you find the Olympus Mons? [clock ticks] [laughs]It's a volcano.

Oh.

Sonny steered the silver car out of the science building and asked Hector where they should go first.

Hector impressed Sonny with his knowledge of Mars and said they should visit an extinct volcano called Olympus Mons because it was supposed to be the biggest volcano in the solar system and the highest point on Mars.

They saw something in the distance that looked like a flat-topped mountain.

Sunny flew the car towards it.

When they got closer...

They were amazed by the sheer size and beauty of Olympus Mons and thought they had never seen anything so extraordinary in all their lives.

They were so enchanted by the beauty of the extinct volcano that they didn't utter a single word as they flew around it.

It is Mars.

Olympus Mons is roughly three times the height of Mount Everest, according to NASA.

Okay, so there you have it.

Okay, well, so whenever Elon Musk gets there, I'm going to demand that he measure it himself because I don't know that that's ever been proven, and until Mr. Musk measures it for me, I'm going to assume that there's at least a possibility that I was right.

False.

Olympus Mons on Mars is taller.

The capital of Canada is Toronto.

False.

But I'm excited about those things.

But at the same time, that's sort of like the Olympus Mons, not even the Everest.

It's such a high peak to climb.

Whereas I think that all of the trudgery that nobody talks about as an architect.

Darrow hears rumors of Julia Albalona's desire for Darrow's head.

From the book: "They say every night since I stole Julian's life in the passage, his mother, Julia Albalona, has sat at the long table of her family's high hall upon the slopes of Olympus Mons and lifted the semi-circular lid of a silver tray brought to her by the pink manservants.

Every night the tray remains empty, and every night she sighs in sadness, peering down the table at her large family only to repeat the same vindictive words, 'It is clear I am unloved.

If I were loved, there would be a heart here to sate my hunger for vengeance.

Gentle slopes, um, and you end up seeing lots of, um, lava flowing from them in a slow fashion.

The second-biggest mountain on, in the solar system, next to Olympus Mons on Mars, is Mauna Loa in Hawaii, and that is a shield volcano.

It's absolutely huge in that it goes up to about 13,500 feet above the ocean and about 30,000 feet below the ocean, and it's so heavy it actually pushes the crust of the Earth itself down about a mile.

So it's bigger than any single mountain on Earth, and in fact, bigger than any single mountain in the solar system except Olympus Mons, again, on Mars.

So obviously they can become pretty big.

Lava domes.
