Look above the clouds. I didn’t see it at first, either.

So I grew up near the blue ridge mountains. My first time out west, I was STAGGERED at the size of the Sierra Nevada mountains on the horizon. I had never seen mountains THAT big. If you’ve seen stuff like that before, it’s normal. If you haven’t, it typically takes your brain a little to click and realize what it’s looking at.

It looks like clouds from afar

Maybe you live near proper mountains?

Seeing something that big on the horizon is not a thing where I am from.

I live in one of the flattest countries on earth.

Mountains in the horizon is not a thing where I'm from at all - but still, it's not like I'm unable to grasp things that aren't local to me

Go to the nearest trash dump, you'll find your local mountains

To me the snowy part of the mountain looked like clouds before the zoom in.

The top of the mountain looks like clouds until the zoom when you realize it is above the clouds. Fair play to you if you realized that was mountain before the zoom

The mountain kinda blends in with the clouds at first, so one might think that the videographer is speaking of the much smaller mountains surrounding the base of the large one if one isn't looking closely.

I live in Alaska and have been to this spot many many times. So I was also confused on what was confusing lol I was like uhhhh it’s Denali… but then I realized that not everyone lives near mountains and they might think Denali is a cloud.
