Ben Nevis

Right: Ben Nevis in mid-summer from Torlundy. This is the view of the mountain from the main A82 to Inverness.

It has been said that terrible things will happen, should all the snow melt from the mountain in summer.

Even during the warmest summers, a large patch of snow lingers in the north face of Britain's highest mountain.

The mountain is reflected in the Caledonian Canal at Corpach, which joins the North Sea at Inverness, 66 miles away, with the Atalntic Ocean, in the form of Loch Linnhe, at Fort William. Ben nevis rises from sea level to 4,406 feet in a few short miles.
