does Mars have active volcanoes?

Need to find this out for a term paper.

I seem to recall one of the recent Mars missions seemed to show Olympus
Mons may have erupted around 10m years ago. I've no idea though if this
opinion was later revised.

Yes, in fact, I have the picture (on p. 167) in one of the books I've been
using as a reference called "Atlas Of The Skies" by TAJ Books in 2003. So,
that's why I asked the original question as I've heard that Mars "didn't"
have active ones, yet we have this picture.
