Exploring the Chasms and Flanks of the Martian Volcano: Olympus Mons
An exciting discovery was recently made on the surface of Mars! A team of researchers from the University of Chicago have identified two deep chasms on the flanks of an extinct Martian volcano. The chasms measure up to 8 kilometers wide and over 370 meters deep. These newly discovered features provide a wealth of information to scientists, as they can offer insight into the geologic history of the area. Additionally, these features may provide a potential habitat for future exploration missions. The researchers are excited to continue their investigation into the chasms, and what they may reveal about the red planet.
