In the back of my mind, I've always loved the sublime stalagmite-like mountains that appear in Southwest China. Randomly reading something today, I discovered that these type of mountains are called "Karst Mountains", which Wikipedia describes as "a landscape shaped by the dissolution of a layer or layers of soluble bedrock, usually carbonate rock such as limestone or dolomite."
A much better description would be to check out these amazing pictures.
Now you know!
