Cover photo description:
Mangart or Mangrt is a mountain in the Julian Alps, located on the border between Italy and Slovenia. With an elevation of 2,679 metres, it is the third-highest peak in Slovenia, after Triglav and Skrlatica. Is one of the highest and most important mountains of Julian Alps. As a Lord of the Western part of Slovenian Julian Alps, Mangart with its huge massif separate NW part of Slovenia from NE part of Italia. Its huge north wall can be almost comparable with Triglav's north wall, it is not as high, but being around 3 km broad, it looks similar. The main mountain crest goes in east-west direction. Towards the southern, Slovenian side almost 2000 m high slopes fall in Koritnica Valley. Situated in the Province of Udine, the Lago di Fusine Superiore covers a surface area of 9 hectares. The lake stands at an elevation of 929 metres above sea level and is 10 metres deep at its deepest point. 'Superiore' refers to the fact that it's the "Upper" of the two lakes next to each other, the other lake being "Inferiore", or "Lower".
