  Llyn Llydaw / Snowdon
  by Andrew Ness

  US$3.99–US$91.20

  Taken in Snowdonia, Wales. Llyn Llydaw (from the Welsh meaning Brittany lake) is a lake in Snowdonia National Park on the flanks of Snowdon, Wales’ highest mountain. This long thin lake has formed in a cwm about one-third of the way up the mountain. Snowdon (Welsh: Yr Wyddfa), is the highest mountain in Wales and the third most prominent peak in the British Isles. It is Great Britain’s highest mountain south of the Scottish Highlands, and has been described as “probably the busiest mountain in Britain.” It is located in Snowdonia National Park (Welsh: Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri), in Gwynedd. The summit is known as Yr Wyddfa, Welsh for “the tumulus” and lies at an altitude of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) above sea level.

  Llyn Llydaw and Llyn Glaslyn, Snowdonia, North wales
  by Jason Connolly

  US$3.99–US$91.20

  Llyn Llydaw (top) and Llyn Glaslyn (bottom) / Llyn Llydaw (from the Welsh meaning Brittany lake) is a lake in Snowdonia National Park on the flanks of Snowdon, Wales’ highest mountain. This long thin lake has formed in a cwm about one-third of the way up the mountain. / Its special significance is that it is one of the most visited lakes in the United Kingdom. Thousands of people every year visit Snowdon and most walk past this lake on the Miners’ Track. / Glaslyn (Welsh for “blue lake”) is a lake in the Snowdonia National Park in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. It is high up (600 m) in a cwm on the eastern flanks of Snowdon. It is a rough ellipse in shape, about 500m east–west and about 300 m north–south, and the Miners’ Track runs along the northern shore. / Glaslyn is the source of the Afon Glaslyn, the major river of Gwynedd, which runs east to the reservoir of Llyn Llydaw before turning southwest to reach the sea at Porthmadog. / (Wikipedia) / Shot on the final of my 3 peaks walks of the highest peaks of England, Scotland and Wales, this is the final hike, up to the Highest mountain in Wales, at a height of 1085 metres (3560ft) / Started from the car park at Lanberris pass and made our way to the summit via the Pig track. (The track to the left with poeple on it- The path on the right by the lake is the miners track) / The Pyg Track is a popular path leading from the car park at Pen-y-Pass along the lower slopes of Crib Goch before zig-zagging above the smaller lake Glaslyn to the col between Snowdon and Garnedd Ugain and thence to the summit of Snowdon. / Regarding the name of the Pyg Track, the web site of the Snowdonia National Park Authority states: / Looking down Pyg Track from Snowdon Ridge rises behind hikers along Pyg Track / “No one is certain how the Pyg Track came by its name; possibly from Bwlch y Moch (Pigs’ Pass) over which it passes. (It is sometimes spelt Pig Track). “Pyg” in Welsh also means ‘pitch’ and may refer to the dull black pitchy appearance of the path in one location; or it may have been the route used to carry pitch up to the copper mines. A third possibility is that it was named after the Pen-y-Gwryd Hotel nearby, by the early climbers who stayed there. / (Wikepedia) / Shot with a Nikon D300 and 18-70mm lens / f16 / 1/50sec / Of the 3 peaks I did this was the only mountain where the sun shine throughout the duration of the walk. /
