Day Twenty-Nine: Qurnat as Sawdā’

Over the summer I created over 35 achievement badges for the Withings Health Mate fitness app.

Day twenty-nine is Qurnat as Sawdā’ in Lebanon.

-------------

“Qurnat as Sawdā’ is the highest point in Lebanon and the Levant, at 3,088 meters above sea level.

Qurnat as Sawda experiences an Alpine-Tundra like weather, with cool temperatures even in the summer. Summer highs usually hover around 10–15 degrees Celsius during the day time, but go down to around 0–5 degrees at night. Winter is a very long period on this mountain (October– late-April) with average highs of only −20 °C and nighttime lows that can plummet to −45 °C. Snowfall is around 10–12 meters every year, and doesn't melt until mid-June.”
