In addition to the main branch running from west to east, the Alps have four other branches running across south-central Europe. One branch extends into the Iberian Peninsula, called the Pirineos, and another branch, which is also an important branch forming the Italian Peninsula, is called the Apennines. The mountain branch running southeast across the western side of the Bagan Peninsula into the Mediterranean, passing through the islands of Crete and Cyprus, reaching the Asia Minor Peninsula is called the Dinalic Alps. The mountain branch running west, forming an arc, is called the Carpathian branch.

The Alps have beautiful lakes. Over the past few tens of thousands of years, Europe has experienced many glaciations, and the Alps have been covered with thick layers of ice. This has created beautiful ice lakes. The Alps have more than 1,200 glaciers with a total area of 3,600 km2. Large glaciers carry large blocks of ice as they move downstream. Melting ice causes frozen objects to sink, blocking the flow, creating beautiful natural lakes such as Lake Lemam and Lake Sulisi.
