Scientific paper

A summary is presented of the results of some new observations on Martian volcanic features made from the Viking orbiters. Most of these observations are concerned with the Tharsis and Alba regions. The youth, size, and style of the volcanic features in these areas render them particularly susceptible to analysis. Excellent coverage was also acquired of Apollinaris Patera. It has many features of the Tharsis shields, with a cliff around its circumference and a large central caldera. Olympus Mons and its vicinity are examined, taking into account the shield of Olympus Mons, mass movement features along the basal scarp, the basal plains, the relative ages of Olympus Mons and the basal plains, and grooved terrain.
