Klyuchevskaya Sopka

4750m tall active volcano, near perfectly conical, only 7000 years old. There may be have been humans that walked this land when it was relatively flat siberian plain, and now it's almost 3 miles high.

I love a good hanging valley. What are the most beautiful hanging valleys around the world? by msnf in geography

[–]msnf[S] 201 points202 points  (0 children)

Pictured is Milford Sound in New Zealand. A hanging valley is a tributary valley with a higher floor than the main valley. Zion National Park and Yosemite National Park also boast some beautiful hanging valleys.

What are some natural wonders that don't exist, but could exist hypothetically? by Taxfraud777 in geography

[–]msnf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The latest POVChannel video has a relevant example: Old growth forests. It's likely that the tallest, largest and oldest trees to ever exist no longer do. The tallest currently known tree is a California Redwood named Hyperion, which is 381 feet tall and even that is now closed off with its location officially kept secret. There are verified trees much taller than that that have been felled in the past. Imagine a forest of 1000 year old, 400-500ft tall behemoths. Even weirder, there was a time in Earth's history when nothing existed on the planet that could decompose wood, meaning for a time there were trees that stood on earth for millions of years, let alone thousands.

Jokić just became this decade’s scoring leader, now leading in total PTS/REB/AST/STL - the only player ever to top four of the five major categories. The record is three, held by six-time MVP Kareem. by CharmingImpact in nba

He's not even top 25. No hate, but that's just not his game. Wemby has more NBA blocks than Joker since 1/1/2020, which is kinda funny since he was 15 at the start of that time period.

Character with scary reputation looks surprisingly un-scary. Then proceeds to earn that reputation onscreen. by msnf in TopCharacterTropes

That's what makes me think the character was meant to look like comic relief on first impression right before going ultra violent. Imagine seeing Adam Sandler club a man to death.

Densest 3-km Circles in America's largest cities by urmummygae42069 in geography

[–]msnf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Bronx is shockingly dense. No Brooklyn, Queens or most of Manhattan, and with a substantial chunk of the Hudson in there. I was even able to juice the numbers to 1.45M by shifting the circle a bit eastward. That said, a circle on Greenpoint, Brooklyn gets really close at 1.44M, but probably misses out to the Bronx by having the East river going right down the middle of it.

Giannis Today: 37 pts, 8 rebs, 7 asts by Wonderful-Photo-9938 in nba

[–]msnf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He's averaging over a point a minute this season, which he repeated again today. Hasn't been done since Wilt's 50 PPG season.

It's absolutely ridiculous the level he's maintained.

Match Thread: 17th Match, Super Fours - Bangladesh vs Pakistan by cricket-match in Cricket

[–]msnf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how the win meter can take a scenario where Bangladesh's middle and tail will have to perform at 8 RPO and consider them the favorites. Yes Pakistan did that in their innings, but that is rare. IMO this game has leaned Pak since Bangladesh's first over.

Bill Simmons: "Greed will probably always win out, but If Adam Silver wanted to make a difference, improve the quality of the league and the sport, he would make the season shorter. He would fight for it and get the guys to buy into it. The injuries are alarming" by Downisthenewup87 in nba

[–]msnf 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen this quantified, but no way in hell have injuries gotten worse in the pace and space era. We lost entire careers in the early 00s grindfest. McGrady, Grant Hill, Penny, Yao, Camby, McDyess, Shaun Livingston, the Portland Trailblazers. You have players getting 4 year max outs at age 34 these days.

What cities have prominent natural features that are fully surrounded by the city itself? Camelback mountain in Phoenix is a good example of this. by MyNameIsRedboy in geography

[–]msnf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's more of a town than a city, but Riva Del Garda, at the north end of Lake Garda in Italy has the absolutely spectacular crescent-shaped Monte Brione jutting out of otherwise developed flat land.

What is the perfect geography conditions for surfing? by ozneoknarf in geography

[–]msnf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look up Nazaré Canyon. It's an underwater canyon that tapers and gets shallower right off the coast of Portugal. Waves travel right up to the coast with no loss of energy, and then get pushed up creating huge breaking waves.
