| Quote Tangle10 (  ) ...Huh. I was hoping to apply with a shield volcano, at 16 km over sea level. But obviously that immediately loses.
It doesn't matter. We still love to see new mountains. Post if you want.

| Eh. This isn't that mountain, it's one I just found. Not even near beating the original post, but whatever.
This mountain is 21 km up, and that's from going to its top. Only reason I saw it was because I thought it was a shield volcano.
Not actually applying this.
Tips for finding Earth-Like planets: Look for F, G, or K Class stars. M class habitables will almost always be tidelocked. Oceanias can, of course, also be habitable, they just have tiny amounts of land.

| I always liked to imagine that the islands on oceanias were salt/mineral deposits, but I never flew down to visit one. I now realize that it is unlikely (maybe even impossible) for salt to form 70 km spikes.

Dammit, Quontex, the answer is always aliens. Regardless of the question.

Your mountain is a giant alien turtle with just it's shell sticking out of the ground. But really it is nice, and I wonder what it looks like with Level of Detail turned up to 2.

74.5km above sea level... That's by far the highest mountain I have ever seen.

| Quote RGA ( ) 65km ain't too bad I reckon
How does a structure like that resist erosion? It wouldn't seem like such a mountain would last long.

| I'd imagine gravity would be a bigger problem than erosion. Even on Mars mountains over ~25 km seem to be impossible.
I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.
