Overview

Schematic of a Volcanic Cave Settlement

The Volcanic Cave Settlement concept is based upon the discovery of caves in the surface of Mars near an extinct volcano, Arsia Mons.

The concept utilizes lava caves for shelter. Compared to other settlement types the cave settlement provides the biggest habitat space with respect to the transported construction material.

Thanks for sharing. Always good to find a real epxert.
