Kelvin's Cairn

Kelvin's Cairn was a free-standing 1,000‑foot-tall (300‑meter) mountain fronted by a river valley about as deep as the mountain was high. The mountain top remained covered in snow year-round. The mountain was the only peak within a thousand square miles, even though it appeared as merely a pile of loose boulders.
