Clues:
1. Although the argillaceous sedimentary rocks pictured here are more than a billion years old, this mountain's distinctive appearance is the work of a giant thrust sheet from 75 million years ago and of the carvings of ice sheets in the past half-million years. 2. The peak is located in the world's first international peace park, so designated in 1932. 3. The trail visible in the photo crosses
the highest pass in the park in the course of its 18-kilometer journey
through montane, sub-alpine and alpine zones.

Three of the other springs are named for the body parts of Mephistopheles. The springs flow from one of the world's most productive karst aquifers. 3. The clothes of the people pictured contradict
