      A rover has never been burnt by Olympus Mons. One of the reasons for this is that the rovers have been exploring parts of Mars that are a long way from the volcanoes. This is because they need to land where it is quite flat. Another reason is that Olympus Mons hasn’t erupted for millions of years, but it might again in the future!
