It is located on the planet Mars at approximately 18°N 133°W / 18, -133. Olympus Mons (Latin for "Mount Olympus") is the tallest known volcano and mountain in the Solar System and was formed during the Amazonian epoch. It is three times as tall as Mount Everest. Since the late 19th century - well before space probes confirmed its identity as a mountain - Olympus Mons was known to astronomers as the albedo feature, Nix Olympica("Snows of Olympus"), although its mountainous nature was suspected.
