On the city wall

She'll fly apart.

Just another example of Americans using literally anything but the metric system to indicate size! What the heck is a Arizona, anyways?

Though less impressive fact about it is that if you were walking around there, you wouldn't know you were on it, as the majority of the slope of the volcano is less than 5% for vast stretches. It would be like walking around Fargo; far from the Mt. Fuji-like depictions it is typically given.

In Hawaii's case, our planet's tectonics are still active so new volcanoes pop up in a dotted line instead of one huge one.

A dotted line all the way to Alaska!

I think that would be pretty impressive even if I'm standing on the 5% grade section.

Probably not, you can only see about 5km on earth before the curvature gets you, and mars is even smaller

e: yep "Similarly, an observer near the summit would be unaware of standing on a very high mountain, as the slope of the volcano would extend far beyond the horizon, a mere 3 kilometers away.[20]"

here, if youre standing in the middle of the two red lines, those are your horizon

A very cool, real-life solar-system place to be was depicted in the short film Wanders, of a cliff on Uranus's smallest moon of Miranda. It (Verona Rupes) is believed to be up to 20km vertical, and with the low gravity, a BASE jump could last as long as 12 minutes with only a small, hand-helded rocket required to arrest your fall at the end.

For best bang for your buck you wanna go stand on the edge of those cliffs right on the western end of the volcano, they're taller than Everest

The Sherminator needed some work when Deboss Garage got it so they fixed it up and take it to parades and stuff. They did a bunch of videos about it. This one is part 3 but you can check them out if you want. The first minute or two gives a good review of what its whole deal is.

It's actually not a Sherman, it's a crazy self-build made out of spare Sherman parts.
