South Boösaule Mons (/ˌboʊ.ɒˈsɔːliː/), the highest mountain of Jupiter's moon Io, is one of the tallest mountains in the Solar System. It is located just northwest of the volcano Pele, in the Boösaule Montes.
The official name of the mountain range was given in honor of the cave in Egypt where Io gave birth to Epaphus, and approved by the IAU in 1985.
