🔥 COVID19 lockdown has cleaned the air over Nepal, So much so that for the first time in many years, Mt. Everest can be seen again from Kathmandu Valley (200km away) 🔥
At that distance the apparent height of Mt Everest / Chomolungma is reduced by approximately 3000 metres due to earth curvature. Try getting a flat-earther to explain why it looks smaller than the mountains that are closer

You can see the sky arrow particularly well now too.

Really puts in to perspective the geography of Nepal. The horizon on flat land is about 5km, Mt. Everest is so tall you can see it from 200.
