    We have one artificial mountain in Latvia. The hill is called "Lemberg's hat" because this project was started by Ventspils mayor Aivars Lembergs. The project was started shortly before 2005. - the city needed an area where construction debris can be dumped, and for that they chose an environment-degrading place not too far from the sea. Next, the idea arose that in that place, sand should be poured on top of the construction debris, etc. as a result of 2015 the mountain was 58 meters above sea level, now the mountain has become higher and wider - they also made a small ski track - as far as I know, the descent is 240m long and in 2023. the largest toboggan track in Northern Europe was opened there - the total length of the toboggan track is 800m.
    Currently, the mountain continues to be raised every year and it has also become wider - another interesting fact is that this artificial mountain has become the 11th highest peak in the Baltic States (please do not confuse with height above sea level, but from the base of the land on which the mountain begins first steps). Currently, there is information from the city government that the mountain will continue to be raised and, therefore, the height and length of the toboggan track will be increased. There are even written requests from local residents to raise the mountain to at least 500m above sea level, achieving the fact that it is the first mountain in the Baltic States that would have reached the mark of an official mountain in the entire Baltic and its height must reach at least 500m to be officially recognized as a mountain and not the hill
    Here is a link so you can see pictures and a gallery of this artificial hill in Latvia.

    They should start building an 800M mountain. Why this height? That's the tallest mountain you'll ever need for the Winter Olympic's scariest and most impressive event, the Downhill! They should do it like that Danish power station by building industrial factories underneath and covering it with a natural roof of grass and plants...

    • @stickynorth
      @stickynorth 3 роки тому

      Also 800M is LESS than the height of the Burj Khallifa which shows it's WELL within the zone of possibility of existing tech and economic scope...

    A Plastic mountain in the Netherlands. Hmm. Why not rather build a heavy mountain off the coast of the Netherlands, say somewhere in Doggerland? That might solve the isostatic problem and actually raise the rest of the Netherlands.

    These videos are great and very interesting. I really like the subjects and the conclusions you reach.
    For some constructive feedback, I believe two things are lacking to really make this channel explode and gain the traction and recognition it deserves.
    1. Unfortunately, your accent and delivery is very difficult to understand, almost incomprehensible. You have a very very heavy non-english-speaker accent, you speak very fast, you merge lots of words together, your plosives are weakened (something common in what sounds like german or slavic language background), and the use of a very heavy "wuh" sound instead of "v" (Whery instead of very, for ex.), makes the delivery quite difficult to comprehend, and as a result, to follow. For this reason, it may be helpful to take some diction classes, speak slower, or get a native english speaker to record your audio. With better sound quality, it is easier to listen (especially science-based videos which are inherently fact-heavy), and more interesting to follow. With more interest, I think listening and subscription counts could go up if the quality goes up.
    2. Cite your sources. Since you are presenting lots of technical information, it's important to cite your research, to give even more value and weight to your content.
    Txs for listening.
    Cheers and good work!
