Jovis Tholus in context
Jovis Tholus shield volcano and surrounding features in wider context, as imaged by ESA’s Mars Express. Jovis Tholus is located roughly in the middle between Olympus Mons and Ascreus Mons. It lies on the very northern edge of the lava plains surrounding the Tharsis Montes and is also bordered by the the Ceraunius Fossae fault system to the northeast and the Ulysses Fossae faults to the southwest.
The mosaic was compiled from two images taken 13 May and 2 June 2021 during Mars Express Orbits 21944 and 22011.
