Golden sunset view of the Italian Dolomites

The prefix "Dolomites" is in honor of the French scientist Deode de Dolomieux, who in the second half of the XVIII century conducted geological studies of the rocks of this section of the Alps.

He found that the structure of the mountains consists of limestone and a mineral, which, in honor of its discoverer and researcher, was given the name "dolomite".
