For one thing, [[Kilimanjaro]] ''doesn’t'' rise above the [[Serengeti]].

I am reliably informed that an object ~1km tall ~250km away would appear about 4mm high, if you could even see it through nearby trees (with or without napping [[leopress]]es), haze, atmospheric perspective etc. This is not really rising at all, let alone majestically, like Olympus might (if it weren’t rising above a national park in Greece, of course). </ref> | ||
