We constructed an index of mining activity influence as follows: where T is the tonnage of nickel ore extracted between 1940 and 1980; W is a coefficient depending on the orientation of the mining massif with respect to the tribe and the prevailing wind; and D is the distance between the center of the tribe and the nearest massif.
To get us used to the rope and crampon work essential on glaciers, John chose to ascend the Petite Fourche, a modest peak in the massif with striking views of the Eiger and the Matterhorn.
To the southeast, the valley is bounded by the Nasaasaaq massif with several distinct summits, the highest of which is 784 m.
Under this scenario subsequent contact between the phylogroups would have been initiated after the merging of the Betic Massif with Iberian mainland, due to the closing of the Betic corridor 7.8-7.6 7.8-7.6 [ 77, 78] for a detailed explanation of the kineMa [seeof the western Mediterranean basin].
The biometrical traits of the terminal cell differentiated also the populations of the Aspromonte massif from those of the Sila massif, with values in between the other two.
Ben Macdui, the highest mountain in the massif, with an elevation of 4,296 feet (1,309 metres), is the second highest mountain (after Ben Nevis) in the British Isles.
The view -- a visual feast of azure sky reflecting in the Tamur River's glacial waters, framed by the rock-hewn tsunami of the Kanchenjunga massif – competed with the heady aroma of cardamom-filled sacks, as trains of Limbu traders sung their way down to the lowland markets of the Terai.
The northern boundaries of the region sit on the Massif Central with the Cévennes mountain ranges and valleys dominating the area.
Corsica, Sardinia and the Calabro-Peloritan massif collided with the Apulian plate around 20-18 Ma, completing the formation of the Gulf of Lyon.
In Switzerland, exposure levels of the resident population to background radiation vary considerably due to the relatively high radioactivity of crystalline rocks of the central Alpine massif compared with the sedimentary northern Alpine Foreland (Jura, Molasse Basin) (Rybach et al. 1996, 2002).
