Albor Tholus är en slocknad vulkan inom området Elysium Planitia på Mars. Berget ligger söder om de intilliggande Elysium Mons och Hecates Tholus. Albor Tholus är 4,5 kilometer högt[2] och har en diameter på 160 km[2] vid sin bas. Dess kaldera har en diameter på 30 kilometer och är 3 kilometer djup.[2] Utforskning genomförd av Mars Express upptäckte att vulkanerna i området varit aktiva under långa perioder.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took the picture of Mars on June 26, 2001, when Mars was approximately 68 million kilometers (43 million miles) from Earth — the closest Mars has ever been to Earth since 1988. Hubble can see details as small as 16 kilometers (10 miles) across. The colors have been carefully balanced to give a realistic view of Mars' hues as they might appear through a telescope. Especially striking is the large amount of seasonal dust storm activity seen in this image. One large storm system is churning high above the northern polar cap (top of image), and a smaller dust storm cloud can be seen nearby. Another large dust storm is spilling out of the giant Hellas impact basin in the Southern Hemisphere (lower right).
