What is the explanation for the significance of the sugar-loaf mountain?
When sugar was made by hand rather than in modern factories it was shipped and sold in what is called a sugar-loaf. This is a solid block of sugar of conical shape with a rounded top. When sold the sugar was cracked off the 'loaf' and taken home; here it was broken up by a special set of sugar nibblers (two blades with a handle foxed to a wooden support) which broke it down to a size for domestic use. There are some mountains in the world that look the same shape as a sugar-loaf and are therefore called sugar-loaf mountains. One such famous mountain (which is also made out of white sparkly rock called 'anorthosite' - which completes the sugar effect!) is to be found in the "Jotunheimen" mountains of Norway. Another (which is not white) is the famous Sugar-loaf mountain above Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
