Mars has the largest volcano in the solar system. It is called Olympus Mons, or Mount Olympus. At 375 miles (600 km) across, it would cover most of England, and at 16 miles (26 km) high, it is 3 times taller than Mount Everest. In the center is a huge, sunken crater that is 26 miles (90 km) across.
