Caucasus Mountain Russia
The beautiful double-peaked Elbrus is the pride of the Caucasus
mountains. The local people call Elbrus "Ash-Gamakho", which
means "Happiness-Bringing Mountain". This gentle-sloped volcano
in the center of the Caucasus mountains marks the highest point
of Europe, with its eastern summit at 5621 meters (18,442 feet)
and its western summit - 5642 m (18,510 feet). Like any large
mountain, Mt.Elbrus creates its own weather. There can be
serious storms on the mountain, while the next valley over is
covered with bright sunshine.
