Mount Elbrus (meaning twin peaks) is a peak located in the western Caucasus mountains, in Russia, near the border of Georgia. It is the highest mountain in the Caucasus which belongs to Europe (if the border between Europe and Asia is located south of Mount Elbrus – at the Kura and Qvirila rivers). Mt Elbrus (west summit) stands at 5,642 m (18,506 ft) and can be considered to be the highest mountain in Europe.
Vinson Massif, at 78°35’S, 85°25’W is 21km (13 miles) long and 13km (8 miles) wide. It lies on the southern part of the main ridge of the Sentinel Range. Named for Carl G Vinson, a Georgia congressman and a major force in 20th century US Antarctic exploration, it was first climbed in December 1966 by a combined group from the American Alpine Club and the National Science Foundation.
Four members of the joint expedition led by Nicholas B. Clinch made the first ascent of the mountain on 17 December 1966. During the next days the team continued climbing in the local area adding Mount Tyree (4845m/15,892ft), Mount Shinn (4801m/15,747ft) and Mount Gardner (4686m/15,370ft
Worth visiting!
I have spent many summers in Denmark, but I have not been back for five years. I plan on living here someday. So maybe I will be able to ride my bike to work while smoking a cigarette and while talking on my cellphone.
