How can we even see those objects waaaaaaaaaaay off in the distance? Is "elevation" the answer?

Mount_Everest_as_seen_from_Drukair2

So what exactly is that in the distance and just how far away is it?

Is that a flat horizon?

Most curious.

You apparently missed it. It is no longer Mount Everest, it is now referred to as Mount Kumbaya.

Have a nice day.

Mount Everest as seen from the aircraft of Drukair in Bhutan. The aircraft is south of the mountains, facing north.

So what is north of Everest?
