Olympus Mons on Mars is one of the largest volcanoes in our Solar System at about 2.5 times the size of Mt Everest. This work is from my original linocut.

Ever since visiting Taal Volcano in the Philippines on a school trip I have been fascinated by volcanoes, so to document and learn more about them I have started a Volcano patch series and here's a favourite 'Popocatépetl' located just south of Mexico City, Mexico at 5,426 m, its name means 'Smoking Mountain' in Aztec. It is one of the most active volcanoes in Mexico & is the second-highest in North America. In 1994 it became active again after nearly 50 years of being dormant, and is now regularly active with steam plumes and erratic eruptions. Stay tuned for others in the series coming soon...
