Mauna Loa..... is the largest volcano on Earth with an estimated volume of 9,600 cubic miles (40,000 cubic kilometers). It makes half of the area of the Island of Hawaii. Mauna Loa began to form nearly a million years ago. There is a caldera, Mokuaweoweo, at the summit and rift zones extend to the northeast and southwest. Mauna Loa is in the shield-building stage and is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth, erupting 15 times since 1900. The last eruption was in 1984 and sent lavas within 4 miles (6.5 km) of Hilo.

The largest nearby volcano is Olympus Mons on Mars. It is about 17 miles (27 km) tall. That's a long hike for some future explorer. Mount Everest is about 6 miles (10 km) tall.
