Olympus Mons is the tallest volcano on #Mars estimated to be 21 to 29km high making it the largest volcano in the Solar System, ~2.5 times the height of Mount Everest above sea level. At the top there are six or seven overlapping calderas 60x80km across and around 3km deep.
Aside from that, there are two large craters on the mountain itself, named Karzok (15.6km diameter and ~1120m deep) and Pangboche (10.4km diameter and ~1020m deep). Olympus Rupes are a group of cliffs that form the northern border of the mountain.
Olympus Mons is about the size of Arizona:
