Tukuk-OS🏔️ Aspromonte
Italy · Europe · 38.17°N, 16.00°E
The Aspromonte is a mountain massif in the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria. In Italian aspro means "rough", whereas in Greek it means "white", therefore the name literally translates to either "rough mountain" or "white mountain". It overlooks the Strait of Messina, being bounded by the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas and by the Pietrace river. The highest peak is Montalto. The constituting rocks are mostly gneiss and mica schists, which form characteristic overlapping terraces. The massif is part of the Aspromonte National Park.
