Caucasus Mountains
Black Sea peaks
The Caucasus Mountains form a mountain range between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, traditionally marking part of the boundary between Europe and Asia.
The range spans southern Russia, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.
Mount Elbrus, Europe's highest peak by some reckonings, rises here.
The region gives its name to the term Caucasian.
