Being a lover of mountains I'm in awe of Steeple Mountain on the moon of Io.
Olympus Mons may be the biggest in the dark system but this has to be the most spectacular.
What do you think? Here's NASA's artist's impression.

I wonder if any human will ever stand next to it or even scale it?
Beautiful peak! Only possible in low gravity!
ReplyDeleteI seem to recall that Io is a nasty hole of radiation (from Jupiter's Van-Allen Belt). Between that and the Volcanoes, I kinda doubt anyone will ever go there.
I bet climbers are still dreaming about it tho Scott. The impossible climb.
