Alps peak ID help

by Diggler » Mon Aug 07, 2006 11:01 pm

I need some help identifying some (impressive!) peaks I saw while flying over them this past winter in an airplane. Help would be appreciated.

The second picture clearly shows the Matterhorn slightly above center. In the upper right corner is Monte Rosa. The first picture zooms in on Monte Rosa. The local experts will be able to supply much more detail.

Picture #1 on the left side the middle range from right to left flat top mtn = Alphubel
sharp one to its left is Taschhorn dist = 1.2 miles between tops. To the left again Dom distance betweeen Dom top and Taschhorn top is .68 miles Concerning other picture to left of the Matterhorn is the Dent Blanche. Dent Blanche looks steeper on its left side and less steep on the right side(south)

Pics are really nice. And Gabrielle did a great job.
You've got a little mistake: not Dent Blanc but Dent Blanche.

Wow, what a great pair of pictures! Gives you a completely different perspective on mountains altogether. I remember flying from Rome to London in 2004 and staying glued to the window as we flew of the Alps, completely mesmerising!

Oh, don't worry. That only two letters :) Everyone knows what that mountain is :D
The most imoportant fact is that you identified those peaks and make that work in photo shop.
And I also made a mistake writting "Garbielle" not "Gabriele". Sorry for that.
