THE ANT-LEBANON RANGE
The Anti Lebanon occupies slightly less than the
western third of the image, mainly in Lebanese
territory.
It is dominated to the south by Mount Hermon at
2 814 m, still snow-covered. An alignment of sharp
and rather high ridges, trending N30 , emphasize
the eastern margin, limit of the Palmyra Range.
The drainge pattern appears fairly confused,
without any very clearly guiding line, although
flowing mainly eastward, drained by the Barada
river and the Nahr al Awaj.
Microreliefs (on the scale of the image), well
emphasized by the snow on the slopes of mount
Hermon, are aligned in a nearly NS direction.
Combined with the talweg lines trending N80 to
N90 , they form a guilloche pattern characteristic
