I had no idea what a reasonable height for a mountain might be, but I did half-remember a quote from the Spanish dub of Jurassic Park III about K2 being between x000 km and 9000 km. I knew that K2 was the 2nd highest mountain on the planet, so I thought Sweden’s own highest mountain might be quite a bit smaller and therefore wrote down 5000 km as my guess. Except that, lo and behold, it turns out that I misremembered meters as kilometers! Great, now I’m gonna have the most inaccurate answer in this subthread… so much for my attempt to at least be in the correct order of magnitude.
I suppose the correct value is probably 5000 km.

5000 kilometres ?
Yes, 5000000 meters. Like I said, I didn’t realize I had screwed up until I looked at the other posts, which was after I had written my answer down.
