Located in the south of the Highlands in northwest Scotland, this is the highest mountain in the UK, with an elevation of 1,343m. Its name means "snowy mountain". It is located in the western Grampian Mountains, and forms an independent mountain massif due to the surrounding area being dissected. The upper part of the mountain is made of andesite, the lower part of granite, the summit is a broad plateau, and the cirques on the mountainside are covered with perpetual snow. From 1881 to 1905, a meteorological observatory was established on the summit, but it is now closed. The town of Fort William on the northwest foot of the mountain serves as the base for climbing.
