Dolomite Mountains.

Dolomite Mountains. The distinctive peculiarities of dolomite mountain-scenery, with its jagged outlines and isolated peaks, may be seen on the grandest scale in the south-east of Tyrol and in the Carinthian Alp masses. When the Dolomites par excellence are spoken of, it is the Dolomite Mountains of this region that are meant. See Gilbert's Dolomite Mountains (1864); Zigzagging Amongst the Dolomites (1870); Amelia B. Edwards, Untrodden Peaks and Unfrequented Valleys (1870; 2d ed. 1889).
