Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image highlights Lebanon’s two mountain ranges, Jebel Liban and Jabal ash Sharqi. (Jebel or jabal mean “mountain” in Arabic.) The two mountain ranges are covered in fresh snow. A few days before the image was taken, a late-winter storm coated the mountains with up to a meter of snow, said local news reports. The image also shows snow in the coastal mountains of Syria and Turkey.
