Class 4: Elevation between 1,500m (4,921ft) and 2,500m (8,202ft), with a slope greater than 2 degrees. In the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, a mountain is usually defined as any summit at least 2,000 feet (610m) high, [6] which accords with the official UK government's definition that a mountain, for the purposes of access, is a summit of 2,000 feet (610m) or higher. [7] In addition, some definitions also include a topographical prominence requirement, such as that the mountain rises 300 metres (984ft) above the surrounding terrain. [1] At one time the US Board on Geographic Names defined a mountain as being 1,000 feet (305m) or taller, [8] but has abandoned the definition since the 1970s. Any similar landform lower than this height was considered a hill. However, today, the US Geological Survey concludes that these terms do not have technical definitions in the US. [9] In 2021, GWCT-trained Peak District gamekeepers to count mountain hares at night using the methodology that the GWCT has pioneered in Scotland, with the counts analysed by the GWCT and compared to results from Scotland.

The hares switch from an almost purely nocturnal existence in the months between October to February to one involving much more daylight activity during the reproductive period between March and September. The results for March indicate that the three hour period from one hour before to two hours after sunrise contains an even pattern of activity and is therefore an appropriate time to count. Unfortunately this was also the winter that northern England experienced The Beast from The East: an exceptionally severe winter, with seven heavy snowfalls, making it hard just to get on to the hill and survive, let alone set up survey equipment. Even the British Mountaineering Council were called upon, to provide expert advice for clothing and winter gear, to protect the two biologists during the polar conditions. They even called on logistical support from members of the local mountain rescue team, orienteering clubs and a wildlife monitoring expert who flew in from Montana USA.Searle, Michael P (2007).

years earlier, on the other side of the North Atlantic, Bill and Vieve Gore opened a small business from their basement in Delaware. Yet it was their son Bob Gore in 1969 who discovered ePTFE - a versatile polymer with properties that revolutionised the outdoor gear market. Place the playing pieces inside their plastic bases (a coin can help with this so that the card doesn’t get bent) and then place the white piece on top of the mountain.Press, Frank; Siever, Raymond (1985). Earth (4thed.). W.H. Freeman. p. 413. ISBN 978-0-7167-1743-0. A: Yes. Heather moorland that is managed for red grouse is a good habitat for mountain hares. This is probably because the predator control, combined with rotational burning that produces new heather growth, benefits both grouse and hares. The winner is the first to reach the top of the mountain and place their playing piece on the summit!
The highest mountains are not generally the most voluminous. Mauna Loa (4,169m or 13,678ft) is the largest mountain on Earth in terms of base area (about 2,000sqmi or 5,200km 2) and volume (about 18,000cumi or 75,000km 3). [56] Mount Kilimanjaro is the largest non-shield volcano in terms of both base area (245sqmi or 635km 2) and volume (1,150cumi or 4,793km 3). Mount Logan is the largest non-volcanic mountain in base area (120sqmi or 311km 2). In Scotland, the GWCT has rolled out night-time counting and has now trained more than 130 people from 70 estates. These clearly demonstrated robust numbers of mountain hares in key areas managed for grouse. We have now received counts over four winter survey periods, with the information enabling us to provide better guidance to estates for management purposes. The 'Highest' Spot on Earth". Npr.org. 7 April 2007. Archived from the original on 30 January 2013 . Retrieved 31 July 2012.There is no universally accepted definition of a mountain. Elevation, volume, relief, steepness, spacing and continuity have been used as criteria for defining a mountain. [4] In the Oxford English Dictionary a mountain is defined as "a natural elevation of the earth surface rising more or less abruptly from the surrounding level and attaining an altitude which, relatively to the adjacent elevation, is impressive or notable." [4] Mountain environments are particularly sensitive to anthropogenic climate change and are currently undergoing alterations unprecedented in last 10,000 years. [30] In recent decades mountain ice caps and glaciers have experienced accelerating ice loss. The melting of the glaciers, permafrost and snow has caused underlying surfaces to become increasingly unstable. Landslip hazards have increased in both number and magnitude due to climate change.
