Volcanic activity on Mars has existed in the past. The most recent was likely 50,000 years ago. Olympus Mons, the largest volcano on Mars, hasn't shown signs of activity for 25 million years. Volcanic ...

Explosive volcanic eruptions on early Mars may have transported water ice to equatorial regions, according to a modeling study published in Nature Communications. The authors suggest that these ...

While the early climate of Mars remains an open question, a new study suggests that its atmosphere may have been hospitable to life due to volcanic activity that emitted sulfur gases that contributed ...

"Explosive volcanism could repeatedly seed low latitudes with ice and ash, producing buried or insulated ice deposits that help explain the excess hydrogen signals measured near the equator." When you ...

Astronauts train to scale a Mars volcano at an analogue site in France. Lava tubes that crisscross the Martian surface might provide sanctuaries for the first human explorers on the Red Planet. (Photo ...

How did young volcanoes on Mars form? This is what a recent study published in the journal Geology hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the complex geological processes responsible ...

Seismic data from NASA’s InSight mission reveals a hidden compositional boundary inside Mars that matches what forms inside ...
