This is Open Street Map mapping. Sorry, (topographic) OSNI/Channel Islands/OSI mapping is not available online
Spatial NI has online OSNI mapping. Click "Basemap Gallery" (4 squares icon at the top).
Now would be a good time for a cup of tea.

The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.

The Burren - On Mullach Mór
Mamiya 6MF, Ektachrome 100SW, original 60mm slide photographed on a light pad, digital processing in Lightroom. I'm not very sure of the GPS coordinates I've assigned to my Burren photos. The Burren is a wonderful karst (limestone) landscape in County Clare, Éire. "The Burren is one of the finest examples of glacio-karst landscape in the world. The effects of the last glacial period are most in evidence, with The Burren overrun by ice during this glaciation [...] any surface karstification now seen dates from approximately 10 000 years ago and The Burren karst is thus very recent in geological terms. Solutional processes have widened and deepened the grikes of the limestone pavement. Pre-existing lines of weakness in the rock (vertical joints) contribute to the formation of extensive fissures separated by clints (flat pavement like slabs). The rock karstification facilitates the formation of subterranean drainage. This has formed numerous cave systems of which more than 50 kilometres have been mapped."

Notes
- Data: Database of British and Irish Hills v18.2
- Maps: We use OS mapping for England, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man. Sadly, Channel Islands, Northern (OSNI) and Southern Ireland (OSI) mapping isn't available online, so we use Openstreetmap.
