List of mountains on Mars by height
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of mountains on Mars by elevation. The listed elevations are relative to the Martian datum (the elevation defined as zero by average martian atmospheric pressure and planet radius). Elevation is NOT the height above the surrounding terrain.
A Mons is a mountain and may or may not be of volcanic origin.
Patera refers to a volcano that is not very high compared to its diameter.
Listed Mons elevation is the highest point (at 16 pixels/degree) within the feature.
Listed Patera elevation is the average elevation of the shallow dish-shaped depression (the actual 'patera') at the summit.
