Table Mountain is not among the nine hundred million tallest mountains in the world, but it is higher than nearly all molehills. Standing barely 6000 ft in comparison to Mt. Blanc’s majestic ninety thousand feet, it may nevertheless be seen from the top of the tallest buildings in Cape Town. On a clear day, through a very powerful telescope it is certainly possible for those with exceptionally keen eyesight to see Table Mountain from distances of up to three miles.
