Melderskin is the nearest mountain to Ben Nevis (the highest mountain in the United Kingdom) that is higher than Ben Nevis, and therefore defines the topographic isolation of Ben Nevis: 459 miles (739 kilometres).[3]
The name comes from the Norse words reports , which means 'grain that is ground into flour' and skin which means shine or shine. The meaning then becomes "the mountain with a shiny layer of snow on top".[4]
