Mount Thor has Earth’s greatest vertical drop

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Located in the freezing desolation of Baffin Island, this granite peak isn't just steep; it literally overhangs. With a terrifying sheer drop of 4,101 feet at an angle of 105 degrees, you could jump off the edge and fall for roughly 30 uninterrupted seconds before ever touching the rock face. A base jumper's ultimate, deeply irresponsible fantasy.
