Alb

   
I knew that an alb was a long white priet's robe; a white linen liturgical vestment with sleeves worn by priests.

But I didn't know until the other day that an alb is also a flat or gently inclined shelf high in a glaciated mountain valley.

    This is interesting! Not far from where I live is the Swabian Alb, a minor mountain range. It is quite beautiful: http://en.s-alb.de/
