南湖群峰 / Mt. Nanhu Series

南湖群峰，位於宜蘭縣，南投縣和台中市交界，為台灣中央山脈最北端的百岳，在此朝東可遙望太平洋上的龜山島，朝西可見聖稜線，朝北可見七星山。中央山脈在此由南北走向轉為東北－西南走向，且高度從三千公尺不斷下降，最後沒入太平洋之中。也是台灣幾個擁有冰河遺跡的高山之一。
Nanhu Mountain, located between Ilan conutry, Nantou country and Taichung city, is the highest mountain on the northern of cental mountain range in Taiwan. The strike of the mountain range changes from north-south to northeast-southeast with a quick drop in the elevation descending from Nanhu Mountain (more than 3400 m) to Pacific Ocean. You can see evidence of past glaciations in those mountains.

在高緯度和高山地區，降雪終年不化，厚雪經過長年不斷的擠壓最後成為冰川。在冰河時期，台灣曾出現過許多冰川，其中南湖圈谷即是其遺留下的痕跡。由於整個南湖群峰大多屬於黑色板岩，容易風化，在冰川退去後，整個圈谷在多雨的環境下迅速風化成碎石坡地形。
The glacier forms the accumulation of snow. There are serval glacier on the last glacial period in Taiwan. After the last glacial period, the glaciers have vanished, exposing the "U"-shaped glacial valley below.
