00:00And as we set our sights on this rusty, windswept world, one of the first things to catch our
00:04attention isn't beneath the surface, but towering high above it. Rising from the
00:11planes like a cosmic titan, there stands a mountain so massive, it defies imagination.
00:18It doesn't just break records, it shatters them.
00:23This is Olympus Mons, Mars' most iconic and colossal landmark.
00:30A sleeping giant of a volcano, frozen in time, stretching an astonishing 13.6 miles,
00:3522 kilometers, into the sky. To put that in perspective, that's nearly
00:41three times taller than Mount Everest. Its base alone is roughly the size of the
00:47entire state of Arizona. But it's not just the height that's staggering.
00:55It's the way it looms across the horizon.
01:00The slope is so gentle, if you were standing on its surface,
01:03you might not even realize you're climbing it.
