This VIS image shows a small portion of the vast lava flow field of Daedalia Planum. The flows originate at Arsia Mons, the southernmost and youngest of the three large aligned volcanoes in the Tharsis region. Arsia Mons' last eruption was tens of million years ago. The youngest volcano in the region is Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in our solar system.
