Where this comes from

People naturally share striking mountain footage they find online, and it's easy for videos to spread with incorrect descriptions.

FACTLY found the video actually shows Mount Assiniboine in Canada, not Mount Kailash in Tibet. The footage was shared with a false location label, though it captures a real and beautiful Canadian mountain.
