How to Explore the Olympus Mons 3D Explorer
Open the Olympus Mons 3D Explorer, drag the vertical-exaggeration slider to see the real slope, and toggle the Everest/Mauna Loa columns to compare heights while the facts panel updates with the real published figures.
- Open https://freetoolonline.com/space-3d/olympus-mons-mars-volcano.html and wait for the volcano, the reddish plain, and the facts panel to render.
- Drag the vertical-exaggeration slider (1x-8x, default 4x) to see the shield grow taller-looking - and to see how flat it looks at 1x, which is the real gentle slope.
- Toggle "Show Everest / Mauna Loa scale comparison" to add or remove the two reference columns.
- Click "View caldera from above" to snap the camera to a top-down angle over the caldera complex.
- Drag to orbit and scroll or pinch to zoom for a closer look at the caldera.
- Read the facts panel for the base diameter, summit height, caldera size, and the Everest/Mauna Loa comparison figures.
