Matterhorn (as a comparative reference)

The Matterhorn is a iconic mountain in the Alps, known for its pyramid-like shape and height of 4,478 meters (14,692 feet). As a geological formation, it is an exposed pyramid of granite and gneiss that has been shaped by glaciers and tectonic forces over millions of years. Compared to other mountains, the Matterhorn's sharp, pointed summit and steep faces make it a challenging and recognizable landmark. Its distinctive silhouette has made it a symbol of alpine adventure and mountaineering history, illustrating the power of natural geological processes in creating dramatic and enduring landscapes.
