Original titleThe Snows of Olympus : A Garden on Mars
Clarke portrays a terraformed Mars in images he has generated on the computer. Taking as his starting point the Martian peak of Olympus, the highest mountain in the solar system, Clarke creates detailed "virtual landscapes" of the Martian surface and "preconstructs" the changes that would occur as water begins to flow and vegetation to thrive. 100 images, 80 in color.
