"There are two easy ways to make mountains," explained Dr Robin Bell, from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, who is a lead US researcher on the expedition.

Making mountains is so easy. It's one of my hobbies on th weekends. My prefered method is colliding continents, it's really fun. The volcano method is kinda messy, IMO.
