Arrival Point? [1]

Pavonis Mons, one of the tallest mountains on Mars, towers about nine miles above the surrounding landscape. The extinct volcano lies along the equator, making it a good spot to anchor a space elevator, which could transport people and goods between the surface and space. Such a technology is many decades in the future, though. [NASA/JPL/Arizona State]
