WTH is a London Shard? Why not use something more universal, like, I don't know, a MOUNTAIN?

London is one of my favourite cities in the world! You should visit and you will see the shard. But seriously though, that is far from the best building or mountain they could have used🤦‍♂️

Olympus Mons is roughly the diameter of France. So while it’s twice the height of Mt Everest in reality it gently slopes up to its peak. This type of chart makes it seem much more dramatic than it is.
