EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Eroded Dolomite peaks in the Dolomites, a majestic mountain range nestled in north-eastern Italy. Standing tall and proud, these peaks reach astonishing heights of over 3000 metres, providing an awe-inspiring sight for any nature enthusiast. The sedimentary rock formations on display reveal intricate layers and strata that have been shaped by centuries of weathering and erosion. The signs of this natural process are evident in the extensive scree slopes that cascade down from the peaks, creating a dramatic contrast against the cloudy backdrop. As autumn sets in, a light dusting of snow and ice adorns some parts of these rocky cliffs, adding to their mystique. The interplay between earth science and physical geography is beautifully captured here, showcasing both geological wonders and atmospheric conditions. Located in South Tyrol within the Southern Limestone Alps, this European gem offers a haven for hikers, climbers, and adventurers seeking solace amidst its rugged terrain. With clouds swirling around them like ethereal companions, these eroded dolomite peaks stand as silent witnesses to the passage of time and forces shaping our planet. This remarkable photograph by DR JUERG ALEAN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY invites us to marvel at nature's artistry while reminding us of our small place within it.
