We’re going to Mars! One of our first tasks is to find out where we will be setting up our colony on Mars. Use the clues provided to figure out the colony’s latitude and longitude. Then use your answers and the topographical map to find the name of the location we’ll be colonizing.<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Olympus Mons is the largest known volcano on any planet in the solar system. It has a diameter of 624 km (274 mi) making it slightly smaller than the state of Arizona (which is slightly smaller than New Mexico). <\/strong>Another major volcanic area on Mars is the Elysium volcanic province west of Olympus Mons.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Your colony will be located between these volcanic regions in an area that was created by lava from these mountains flowing over plains. It is only about 100 million years old, which makes it one of the younger geologic areas on Mars. It has very few layers of sediment on top making it one of the smoothest areas on Mars.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
