    Is the picture to scale in both height and width?

      It’s missing 4K, better would be if the buildings were half their current size

      Or mountain more accurately depicted in size:

        Those buildings are at least approximately to scale as those 828 meters fit in the top 4611 meters roughly 5 times. If you made them half as tall it would be all wrong.

          But you’re only seeing half the mountain.

            So? That’s still obviously accounted for in the scale of the buildings. The buildings are roughly 1/10 of the whole mountain but since only half of the mountain is in frame they are 1/5 of what is in view. It’s correct.

              Except the bottom half of the mountain isn’t in the picture

        Hm? Bottom of the picture is at 4000 m above sea level?
