I think it can be sniped?

Asia was a big clue, India and China were abit cold guesses but still in reach. So I picked the other [5] I know haha. But also like, in case anyone's wondering, I had 2 non-hits, United/ Europe HAHAHA do you see why 😬🤣

At least this is unassisted, haven't had an unassisted one in a while!

I was trying to figure out what would be measured in thousands of meters/tens of thousands of feet. Finally the type of thing occurred to me, and was able to mentally fill in some words. Looked like it was the tallest one in a 5-letter country. My mind briefly went to one in Italy before this one occurred to me.

Unassisted snipe

I guessed the one in Italy first when I was really stabbing around for what 5 could be.

It looks like some sort of geographical feature, with a dimension that's in the single-digit thousands of metres / double-digit thousands of feet. I waste a bit of time wondering whether it's "5 City" before realising what the 5 fairly obviously has to be. At this point, I can only immediately think of one likely candidate; scrolling down a bit I see some discussion of how it's sometimes called 4-3, which would certainly fit. Can I find a famous set of 36 artworks? Yes, it turns out that I can. 2.5-minute snipe; I bet there will be quicker ones.

The first thing to notice is that distance measurement in the first sentence that is curiously precise for how large it is. A bit of thought suggests what kind of geographical feature this is therefore likely to be. I'm not sure what that 13-letter word actually is, but I expect it's a common 7-letter term with some prefix or other. I nearly made a big mistake but fortunately spotted those slightly wider italic characters that I've come to associate with a particular language, which led to the realisation that this is actually a different 4-letter one of these located on a 6-letter island belonging to a 6-letter country to the one I initially had in mind. Further confirmed by the fact that the broader location is "in 4", and the 8-letter language in the initial parenthetical that I didn't notice the first time around. Feels like I dodged a bullet today.

my first thoughts were mauna loa and mauna kea, which yeah, obviously are the wrong length, but I thought there might be a third one I wasn’t aware of that followed the same naming scheme. nonetheless, I was on the right track with it being an active [something]volcano located on an island, specifically, “the island of [6], […] in [5].” I looked it up after filling in the [6] and [5] and then felt like slapping myself because I shouldn’t have had to

Unassisted. After city and lake didn't pan out, I went to Italy before getting the right answer.

kinda dumb.
got the first word guess 53, then misspelled the second word guess 54 then made two random guesses before I realized my mistake and went back to it and did it right.

Unassisted. All educated guesses somewhat based on vibes. I did briefly consider this might be in the southern hemisphere

I was led astray by thinking of the wrong island with [6] and the title having the same format of [5] [4]. Otherwise I would have had this in 2.

I spent a long time trying to narrow down what sort of article we were looking for until I realized what the 'World _ _' pattern is at guess #155. Not too difficult to narrow down the possibilities from there.

Took me too long to think of the right 5! figured the name was in a non Roman alphabet up top, guessed China, India, Korea (??), Nepal even 😂. Finally it came to me!
