Surprising Discovery on Mars: Perseverance Rover Identifies Volcano in Jezero Crater

Exploring the vast Martian landscape can be a daunting task, especially for a lone rover like Perseverance navigating through remote craters. However, a recent revelation has added a new dimension to our understanding of Mars – a volcano hidden in plain sight within Jezero Crater.

Thanks to the meticulous observations of planetary scientist James Wray from the Georgia Institute of Technology, the enigmatic bump on the rim of Jezero Crater has been confirmed as a volcano. This discovery holds significant implications for our knowledge of Mars’ geological history and potential habitability.

Named Jezero Mons, this mountain caught Wray’s attention back in 2007, but it wasn’t until Perseverance started uncovering volcanic rocks on the crater floor that suspicions of its volcanic origin grew stronger. A team led by planetary scientist Sara Cuevas-Quiñones conducted a comprehensive investigation, utilizing data from multiple Mars orbiters and the Perseverance Rover to confirm the volcanic nature of Jezero Mons.


The location of Jezero Mons is not far from where the Perseverance rover landed. (Cuevas-Quiñones et al., Commun. Earth Environ., 2025)

The confirmation of Jezero Mons being a volcano, complete with a volcanic crater, sheds new light on the geological diversity of Mars. While the volcano is currently inactive, its presence in close proximity to a former lake in Jezero Crater raises intriguing possibilities for past habitability.

As Wray highlights, the coexistence of sedimentary rocks from a potentially habitable region with igneous rocks of scientific value makes Jezero Crater an even more compelling site for exploration. The findings of this study have been published in Communications Earth & Environment, showcasing the collaborative efforts of researchers in unraveling the mysteries of Mars.
