ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter image of the eastern flank of Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the Solar System. Lava flow fields and lava channels are cross-cut by large volcano-tectonic structures. Aligned depressions at the far right of the image hint at a possible collapsed lava tube.

The image was taken by the orbiter's Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System, CaSSIS on 25 May 2018 and captures an approximately 32 × 9.8 km segment centred at 15.8°N/ 129.2°W. North is to the right and slightly up in this orientation.
