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. 

Image Processing by Jody Swann/Tammy Becker/Alfred McEwen, using the
PICS (Planetary Image Cartography System) image processing system
developed at  the U.S. Geological Survey in Flagstaff, Arizona.
