Named after the largest vertical cliff in the world

This wilderness remains largely unexplored. There are many fjord glaciers and jagged mountains.

At 1,675 meters, Canada’s Mount Thor boasts the world’s largest cliff. The rock, located in the Auyutuk National Park, falls rapidly at a height of 1250 meters. IFLScience writes about it.

The average slope of the mountain is 15 degrees from vertical. So, this is the longest possible free fall without hitting something.

“If you jump from the top of it and stretch out your arms, it will take an amazing 26 seconds at top speed before you land on something, covering more than a kilometer in the same time,” said the scientist.

As you know, the park itself is located beyond the Arctic Circle on Baffin Island.

The name of the park – Auyuytuk – means “a place that does not melt”. This is due to its frosty conditions. It is thanks to this that its original beauty has been preserved.

It is worth noting that even professional climbers find it difficult to climb the mountain. For example, in 1985, it took a team of four people 33 days to reach the summit for the first time.
