Hi,

In a post I made today with an image of Mars attached
showing the Tharsis volcanoes I made an error in their
location , I forgot that Mars maps have North
up and the generally acepted way to show an image
here on the Net is with South up, below should now be the corrrect location of the volcanoes .

The three volcanos that form a line pointing toward the South Polar Cap are beginning with the one farthest North ,Ascraeus Mons, Pavonis Mons , and Arsia Mons.
Olympus Mons can be see near CM as light colored patch .

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
