A giant volcano has been ‘hiding’ on the surface of Mars – but scientists have only just identified the behemoth, as well as possible glacier ice beneath its surface. The volcano has been provisionally given the title “Noctis volcano” pending an official name.
Noctis volcano has been imaged repeatedly since 1971. But it has been eroded almost beyond recognition. It lies at the border between the Noctis Labyrinthus and the vast canyons of Valles Marineris.
