Description

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Directly west of Mount Hermon, and separated from it by a deep and wide ravine, stands a range which is known as "The Lebanon." These mount are from 3,000 to 10,000 feet high, two of the peaks a thousand feet higher. The word Lebanon, means "white" and this range is known as the "white mountain" either from the snow remaining in its valley all summer, or from the white limestone which is the material of the mountain. On its western of Tyre and Sidon, and beyond, the Mediterranean Sea; on the east it overhangs the gorge called Coele-Syria". Up to the snowline of 6000 feet, the slopes are cultivated in vineyards and fig orchards, surrounding picturesque villages clinging to the rocks."
