    Olympus Mons would be far more dramatic a volcano to the novice if it weren't so very broad. Its great breadth at its base creates a visual distortion, flattening the image. If it were more classically shaped and had steeper sides, it would be seemingly much more astonishing.

    Fun fact ... On Google Earth there is a Mars setting, also a flight option. Switch to Mars and enter flight mode, and you can fly around Olympus Mons and in the calderas. It's a little tricky though, as I can barely get enough elevation to summit it.

    A lot of people (including presenters on YT) don't know that the thought of there being "canals" was a translation error. (From what Schiaparelli wrote "canali", intended to mean "channel" as a wide body of water.)

    21:50 Or, to put it differently, climbing up Olympus Mons is literally like climbing into the heavens, into the realm of The Martian gods, just like climbing up Greece's Mount Olympus here on Earth.
    Edit: Also, due to the "Gentle" slopes on Olympus Mons, and the relative flatness of the area around you at the top of the mountain, is it appropriate to say that climbing Olympus Mons, and standing on its summit is like climbing up, and standing on the summit of Sunflower Mountain in Kansas?

    Model the climb, it would be very boring. Due to Mars's closer horizon it would seem that you were on a flat plain. Only at the escarpment and caldera rim would you perceive any detectable topography. This would appear like a straight slowly declining slope extending horizon to horizon. All in all very Kansas like, boring climb.

    changing hosts has really killed the show for me. I’d prefer Simon, as I still watch his other content daily when I’m working. I was just getting used to Karl, and then they change it again. I find myself rewatching old episodes 10x more than any new episode.

    I would say you did a great job, but you either need a different mic, or you need to bring it closer to your mouth.

      We're building a studio. Might switch to a shotgun mic to have it out of frame.

      @geographicstravel don't think it matters if it's out of frame, his voice just needs to be done justice. I'm glad you guys are keeping up on things despite Simon's departure.

    This presenter is monotone yet comes across as insincere

    Simon come back. We miss you. Nothing against this host,but it's not the same. Good video though.

      Simon is not coming back, but try his channel Places.

      Simon and one of the channel owners had a falling out. The owner made a one off mea culpa video and the channel moved on. No one dropped Simon. He left on his own and won't be back.
