Looking up from the rocky path toward the stone meteorological observatory at the summit of Kasprowy Wierch (1,987 m). This building, perched at the border of Poland and Slovakia, has monitored mountain weather since 1938. The surrounding slopes are rich in alpine flora and are underlain by metamorphic rocks, remnants of intense geological uplift. Photo courtesy of Sylwia Bartyzel on Unsplash.
