[edit] Wrong link

The link to Snøhetta is wrong, it leads to an architecture office, not the mountain. I tried to fix it, but it all went wrong... :|

I've heard that it's the highest mountain in northern Europe, but am unsure of the precise definition - presumably, north of the Alps? Also, is there still a small shop selling T shirts at the top?--JBellis 18:06, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Not only the Alps, also the Carpathians (Gerlachovský štít reaches 2655 m). --Stemonitis 08:49, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Area visible from summit

The claim that 35,000 sq.km are visible is nonsense. This would represent the equivalent of everything within a radius of more than 100km. While the mean horizon distance is about 100 km (see external link), most of the intervening ground is hidden by their surrounding ranges and in therefore not visible. There are no plains visible from the summit. Viewfinder 06:24, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
