Английская Википедия:Ben More (Mull)
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox mountain Ben More (Шаблон:Lang-gd, meaning "great mountain") is the highest mountain and only Munro (mountains in Scotland that reach an elevation of at least Шаблон:Convert) on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. It is also the highest peak in the Scottish isles – and the only Munro – apart from those on the Isle of Skye. The mountain is situated close to the centre of the island, above the shores of Шаблон:Lang.
Access and climbing route
The peak is easiest reached from Loch na Keal, the walk up from the B8035 road following farm tracks, the side of a stream; Шаблон:Lang, and ultimately up scree slopes to the top. From the summit on a clear day, the view encompasses the Sound of Mull, Staffa, Ulva, the Ross of Mull and Iona in the distance. From sea loch to summit is approximately a four-hour walk.
The more demanding but rewarding route follows a boggy path up the banks of Шаблон:Lang to the Шаблон:Lang (mountain pass) between Шаблон:Lang ("The Breast") and Шаблон:Lang (not to be confused with its namesake in Kintail). From the Шаблон:Lang the route follows South West along a steep and rocky ridge first to the peak of Шаблон:Lang then on and up to Ben More itself. There is respite at the top in a circular refuge of stones. This route starts and ends on the B8035 road and is approximately a six-hour walk and scramble.
Climbers should be cautious when using a compass in misty conditions since there is magnetic rock in places, especially near the summit of the mountain.[1]
Geology
Around 60 million years ago, the region was volcanically active, with Ben More being the remnant of a volcano, and it was in this period that the famous rock formations of Staffa and the basaltic columns of "The Castles" on Ulva came into being.[2] The lava flows are known as the "Staffa Magma Type member" and can also be seen on Mull at Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Lang, and near Tobermory on its east coast. They are particularly rich in silica.[3]
