Mongibello, Italian for Beautiful Mountain, certainly
describes this
5 mile high mountain on Jupiter's moon Io. The mountain is a double
ridge and has an almost vertical sheer on either side. One theory is
the mountain was pushed up from below and the other is the remains of
electric scarring.
Instead of using a tight realistic style, I am treating this new
series as a sort of off planet plein air look.
