Re: Olympus Mons is Alive! - The volcano is probably still active.

According to the book "A Travellers Guide to Mars," Olympus Mons has been active within the last 1% of Martian history.  The author has come to this conclusion using crater counts.  This pretty much means that it is still an active volcano and can blow at any time.

Any thoughts?
