Shehy Mountains : ウィキペディア英語版 | Shehy Mountains
The Shehy Mountains (''Cnoic na Síofra'' in Irish, meaning ''Hills of the animal hides"'') are a range of low mountains situated on the border between County Cork and County Kerry, in Ireland. ==Geography and geology== The highest peak (also the highest mountain in County Cork), Knockboy (''Cnoc Buí'', "yellow hill"), is 706 metres high and most of the other peaks in the range are between 500 and 600 metres high. The River Lee rises in Coomroe, a small valley at the eastern end of the range, before flowing eastwards towards Cork Harbour, where it enters the sea. The peaks mostly consist of Old Red Sandstone laid down in the Devonian period. During the Ice Age, the Shehys took their present form, when glaciers carved out the many deep valleys in the area and also eroded the mountains down to their present height. When the icecaps retreated, they left behind hundreds of lakes in the valleys and on the mountain tops.
