A top down view of Olympus Mons, the massive shield volcano on Mars. The volcano has a broad, circular shape with gently sloping flanks and a prominent central caldera. The surface appears reddish-brown, with darker shadowed regions emphasizing the rugged terrain. The edges of the volcano gradually fade into the surrounding Martian landscape. The lighting creates a contrast between the illuminated and shadowed areas, as the volcano is near the terminator, the boundary between day and night.
