The tallest known volcano currently towers 72,000 feet or 21.9 kilometers above the surrounding landscape, encompassing an edifice which is the size of the state of Arizona. Known as Olympus Mons, this volcano has been intermittently erupted for 3.5 billion years, and will almost certainly erupt again at some point in the future.
