Martian Volcanoes May Not be Extinct

By combining new research on Hawaiian volcanoes with recent satellite imagery of Mars from Earopean Space Agency's Mars Express missions, three Martian volcanoes have been discovered to possibly only be dormant (not extinct). Each volcanoe is about 186 miles across (largest on Earth is only 60 miles). The imagery suggests that the volcanoes have been active within the past two million years and might still be.
