DoloMitiche. Opere d'arte a cielo aperto

Product Information

These small, unmanned structures with bare essentials are situated at high altitudes to offer shelter to mountain climbers.

Dolomite outcrops are recognized in the field by their softness (mineral dolomite has a Mohs hardness of 4 or less, well below common silicate minerals) and because dolomite bubbles feebly when a drop of dilute hydrochloric acid is dropped on it. The latter likely forms by recrystallization of existing dolomite at elevated temperature (over 50 to 100°C (122 to 212°F)). The Dolomites ( Italian: Dolomiti [doloˈmiːti]; Ladin: Dolomites; German: Dolomiten [doloˈmiːtn̩] ⓘ; [1] Venetian: Dołomiti [doɰoˈmiti]: Friulian: Dolomitis), also known as the Dolomite Mountains, Dolomite Alps or Dolomitic Alps, are a mountain range in northeastern Italy.The huts are usually open from 20 June to 20 September, but these dates can change according to the weather conditions. The slopes are very well-equipped and the vistas make them one of the most popular destinations for skiers from all over the world. Most dolomite was formed as a magnesium replacement of limestone or of lime mud before lithification. Enrosadira (alpenglow) is the phenomenon whereby the Dolomite peaks, bathed by light at dawn or sunset, take on a red colour.

Dolomite: the mineral that shouldn't exist - Scientists have never been able to make dolomite in the way the mineral forms naturally. Later very important local mountaineers, known for many first ascents, were Angelo Dibona and Giovanni Piaz. Both the 'Union Internationale de Spéléologie' (UIS) and the American 'National Speleological Society' (NSS), extensively use in their publications, the terms "dolomite" or "dolomite rock" when referring to the natural bedrock containing a high percentage of CaMg(CO 3) 2 in which natural caves or solution tubes have formed. The texture of dolomite often shows that it is secondary, formed by replacement of calcium by magnesium in limestone.The first geologist to distinguish dolomite from limestone was Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu; a French mineralogist and geologist whom it is named after.
