| Summary: | Jovan Cvijić said that geography is learned on foot. Besides fieldwork, the
modern studies imply the usage of various software packages, as well as the
data sources available from the Internet. All the data acquired from the
Internet need to be carefully checked, unless they are retrieved from the
websites of the established formal institutions (Government, Institutes, and
Offices). Very often the Internet information may be in the form of data
which should be additionally processed by using mathematical and statistics
methods. Possibilities for Internet usage will be shown through presentation
of the relief characteristics of the mountains Studena and Žaračka, which
belong to Kopaonik system. They make a connection between Mt. Goč and Mt.
Stolovi in the north and the massif of Mt. Željin and Mt. Kopaonik in the
south. Taking into consideration that Mt. Studena and Mt. Žaračka were not
previously studied by geographers, this paper is the contribution to the
knowledge on these mountains. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije,
