Poul Anderson, Harvest Of Stars, 4, p. 56.
From half way up Olympus Mons, Kyra sees:
rocky vastness;
subtle desert hues;
rose-petal sky;
a dust storm;
a crater.
From an asteroid:
a multitude of stars;
blue Vega;
amber Arcturus;
smoldering Betelgeuse (important in the Technic History);
"The Milky Way torrented in frost and silence."
From the surface of the Saturnian moon, Enceladus:
glittering ice;
a few stars;
huge Saturn with cyclopean storms and rings seen edge on;
two other moons.

Kaor, Paul!
And Olympus Mons plays an important role in S.M. Stiring's IN THE COURTS OF THE CRIMSON KINGS, one of my most favorite of his books.
