I'm listening to a very cool piece by this title, thought about Olympus Mons.

Check it out, maybe there's a vid to paste this onto?

Cool indeed. Having seen the view from the summit of the earthly Mount Olympus in Greece, I can relate to that...

Speaking of views, would it be possible to see a rainbow on Mars, through the ice clouds?

I found this, which is claimed to be from Opportunity (Sol 101).

I read somewhere that optical effects around the sun - solar haloes, "sun dogs", circumzenithal arcs, etc - will be visible on Mars. I think it was a SKY & TEL article, and it was referred to back in the Phoenix days when we were all hoping for colour views of the sunset, etc...
