Pico de Aneto: The summit block of the Pico de Aneto is a shark's tooth rising above a small glacier.

Monte Perdido: Monte Perdido lords over the head of the flat-bottomed Ordessa Valley in the Pyrennes.

Cilindro de Marbore: The "cylinder" of Marbore indeed looks like a tree stump in this view from Monte Perdido.
