i really do not understand our knowledge of the ocean, sometimes we have the whole thing generally mapped but not in detail, sometimes we only have the united states waters mapped in detail and 5% of the rest, or we have 5% total but i heard that number was misleading and outdated, ive even looked at the noaa topographical map and current scans which makes it seem like we can only map tiny strips at a time
Man I just had a flashback to putting those little stickers on plastic toys, and back then I understood that what I was doing was a bit good and pointless waste of time and it didn't make any sense to me that I was just supposed to be calm and quiet and not draw attention to our family, but with the context of retrospect God damn are we forcing children to grow up in a complete hellscape for millennia. Like seriously. Who the hell does that
You know all this time I've been a pastafarian following the mighty flying spaghetti monster. But this one simple word ramen has power I think I'm going to adopt it.
TBH, most of us don't know the height of any mountains, save something that is geographically close to us. So no matter what mountain they picked, the vast majority will have to look it up. And most likely, the actual article will have the measurement. As far as using banana, at average 7.5 inches, 3km is approx 14k bananas. I can't even fathom that quantity.
It's probably more impressive sounding. Which, you know, it is. Well, unless you happen to recall that ancient Greek mythology put their pantheon there, even though it's fairly easily scaled and yet nobody really thought to, yaknow, check if there's gods there.
Did the research. This discovery references Mount Olympus of Greece, 2917 meters. New mountain (not sure it has a name) is 3,109-meters. It is not taller than the 22km volcano Mount Olympus on Mars the size of France.
The one on Mars is, to the best of my recollection, uniformly referred to as Olympus Mons, even in English language sources. So when they said "Mount Olympus" I immediately assumed it was the one in Greece where their ancient mythology placed their pantheon.
Hut its an intentionally misleading comparison. 3km isnt a paricularly.big mountian on Warth compared to Everest or K2 at over 8km. Hell, the Appalachians are over 2km tall in places.
For a better comparison, any enirely underwater maintains is not going to be big. Mauna Kea is 9km from the bottom of the ocean to the top of the volcano.
…okay so after some rational thinking I'm gonna guess they meant the other Mount Olympus over there in Greece, because that can't be right for an underwater mountain.
But after typing, I'm thinking that can't be right, that sounds like waaay too high. Then I remember there is also a mount Olympus on Earth, not just on Mars. And then the detail spiraling starts....

It's at least two.

VitaminMarc
Thank you for clarifying this ridiculous bait
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
Good. Which makes the metric even weirder, Mount Olympus isn't even particularly high, as mountains go - especially under the sea.
WarpQueen
Thank you! I assumed it was the one on Mars and was AMAZED
WontPumaPantsAgain
Right? I was here thinking we had the new tallest mountain in the solar system and was confused as to how that wasn’t bigger news!

The one on Mars is, to the best of my recollection, uniformly referred to as Olympus Mons, even in English language sources. So when they said "Mount Olympus" I immediately assumed it was the one in Greece where their ancient mythology placed their pantheon.

Regarded by the ancients as impossible to climb, modern climbers describe the ascent of Olympus as "not difficult"

About 25 km high. It's also on Mars.

So about 130 kilobananas.

Well, you weren't that far off. It's a damn big mountain.
cousteau
Oh, you meant too high for an underwater mountain on Earth. Yeah that's too high indeed.

I once had sex on the top of Mt Olympus. The one in Greece.
It's about 3km high. Again: the mountain. In Greece.

It is also bigger than one banana!
surlyandold
A mountain ‘s height is measured relative to sea level. This undersea “mountain” is just raising the sea level by displacement.
TI99Kitty
But how many washing machines is that? How many halves of a giraffe?
It it a large mountain the size of a small mountain?
RalphH
Hypothesist
its the same size as a equivalent mountain of gerbils
kickedoutofthehole
Possibly bigger than 2 bananas
RalphH
could be, could be. it is not me denying it, but i am not saying it is an undeniable truth either.
