It's a 2500m (8200ft) mountain, but this picture is only showing the top half because of where it is taken from.
It's a beautiful place - I used to hike there a lot when I was in high school. This tarn was a spot I always loved getting to first thing in the morning because it would be frozen over.

Looks like a pimple on the island

That's because when the park was created it was defined as a radius from the peak, so all the farmers cleared up to that radius to make a circle that can be seen from space.

Never would've guessed 2500m. It looked like hill I could sprint up on a minute
