Is this really a mountain? The viral mystery of Mount Paltry

Australia has just named the world’s smallest mountain: Mount Paltry, which is only 7 cm tall.

Even though it’s tiny, scientists say it’s a real mountain because it’s made the same way as big mountains—just much, much smaller.

This little rock has caught the attention of researchers and visitors from around the world.

It shows that amazing things in nature don’t have to be huge to be special.
