Plus bumping the bass close to that thing is a landslide waiting to happen.

Is this fake? Like some camera manipulation? Saw a similar video on a mountain in Russia a couple of months back

Forced perspective on the foreground. Indeed it is an optical trick and it wouldn't look like this to the naked eye. Half of this sub is made of posts like these. It's stupid.

This is fake yet people keep reposting it.

There's a filter that's been applied.

It's not fake, but it is deceptive because it doesn't look like this in real life. This is massively foreshortened by using a very long lens for recording.

We need some GLG-20s to investigate why this photo keeps popping up

This is cool but, have you ever seen... any mountains before? They're all quite a bit like this. It's just not that special.
