  1. The buildings are shown as you would see them if they were built at the base of the mountain, to show its size. The sea level is irrelevant for this illustration.
  2. This isn't Mount Everest.

    Then why is the top listed as everest’s height k2’s height (just woke up and can’t read yet), ? It should list height from base to peak, not sea level to peak. It’s misleading this way.

    It shows the height above sea level at the base, too.
