A Channel Cutting through Lava Flows on Olympus Mons
There appears a single deep channel that is cutting through a field of lava flows on the eastern flank of Olympus Mons. Although the elevation of the region is generally decreasing as it goes down the volcano, there is a slight increase in elevation for a short distance. This slight increase could have caused the large channel to be created. As the lava pooled together, there finally was enough to break through the hill in a single location.

奧林匹斯山東側出現了一條穿過熔岩流場的深水道。雖然該地區的海拔隨著火山下降而普遍下降，但在短距離內海拔略有上升. 這種輕微的增加可能會導致建立大通道。 隨著熔岩匯聚在一起，終於有足夠的熔岩在一個地方衝破山丘。
