Ireland's landscape is famously hilly, with rolling uplands covering much of the country. The highest peak is Carrauntoohil (1,039 m / 3,409 ft) in the MacGillycuddy's Reeks range on the Iveragh Peninsula, County Kerry.
Other notable mountain ranges include the Wicklow Mountains (south of Dublin), the Galtee Mountains (Munster), the Twelve Bens (Connemara), and the Sperrin Mountains (Northern Ireland). These uplands shape Ireland's climate, ecology, and scenic character.
