Frans, this image is a digital creation and not real. Mount Susitna know as the "Sleeping Lady" does not look remotely like this.

Re: Did you know...
In these modern times 95% of what you will find or be sent is fake or false, if you're not going to fact check before passing on, you're just going to breed more Trump supporters.

Re: Did you know...
No one said that the information on the highway was going to be any good.
With exponential growth into the Zetabytes, and almost doubling in the last couple of years, just shows more and more "information" is available, while fact and truth don't have anywhere near the same trajectory.
Moral of the story, presume 99% of what you find is at best microscopically true, or more likely, outright bull.
It's up to the reader to filter out the crepe, something few want to do, or are capable of doing.
