TL;DR Summary

NASA's recent findings highlight Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the Solar System located on Mars, which stands over 27 km high and spans an area larger than Poland. Its massive size results from Mars's lack of tectonic activity, allowing repeated lava flows to build up over millions of years. Although dormant since about 25 million years ago, recent discoveries of frost suggest potential future activity or water presence, keeping scientists intrigued about this geological marvel.
