Lomnický štít, Mountain peak in High Tatras, Slovakia
Lomnický štít is a granite summit in the High Tatras that rises to 2,634 meters (8,641 feet). The peak features two distinct summits connected by a narrow ridge with exposed rocky sections.
English explorer Robert Townson made the first documented ascent in 1793 and measured the elevation with remarkable precision. Since then, the peak has remained a target for mountaineers studying the geological structure of the range.
The mountain observatory and meteorological station on the summit contribute daily weather data and solar observations for scientific research.
A cable car from Tatranská Lomnica carries visitors to the summit, eliminating the need for technical climbing skills. Once at the top, visitors typically have around 50 minutes to observe the views before descending.
An observatory and meteorological station on the summit collects daily weather data and solar observations for scientific research. The extreme temperature swings between minus 31 degrees Celsius (minus 24 degrees Fahrenheit) in March and 24 degrees Celsius (75 degrees Fahrenheit) in August make these measurements particularly valuable.
