The Olympus Mons towers 16 miles, 25 kilometres above the surrounding plans and stretches across 374 miles, 601 kilometres, which is roughly the size of the state of Arizona. Thus, instead of a chain of volcanic islands being formed, large ones like the Olympus Mons are formed. In fact, there are three other volcanoes near the Olympus Mons, that are equally gigantic and towering.
