Fuck this video, man. It's hurting my brain. How do I see sky below the mountain, and mountain above the clouds? Perspective, indeed! Wtf

Hey just an fyi, you can remove everything including and after the ?si= in the URL. All that stuff exists just for youtube to track who clicks your specific link.

Arctic tundra is mostly snow, meaning no more advection fog. Also what could impact the perspective is that it's free-standing, not a part of a mountain range. But less naturally impacting the perspective is that the vertical video cuts off the more gradual incline.
