He then goes to to talk to the god of all the creatures on this planet by climbing a giant mountain and on the way I think he find out he is on Mars as he looks through a telescope and sees earth, and on his way to the mountain summit because the air is so thin he need to use oxygen canisters provided by the inhabitants of this mountain (I think those were the skorns) the creatures were very long and pale. he reaches the summit and travels in through the top of the mountain as it is akin to a volcano. read this book around 2023-2024 and it seemed like a very old book

Out of the Silent Planet
Perelandra
That Hideous Strength

One of these?
