21.9 km or 13.6 miles high for those that don’t wanna search for themselves

Has anyone ever seen a rendering of what Mons would look like from ground level? Could you even see the peak considering visibility?

If I remember correctly the caldera of the volcano at the summit is higher than the upper limit of the atmosphere? It’s basically the only planet in the solar system that could have formed it, the combination of low gravity, while being geologically active enough to produce a volcano like that.
