	Carpathian Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Carpathian Mountains are the eastern wing of the great Central Mountain System of Europe, curving 1500 km (~900 miles) along the borders of Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia and northern Hungary.
		Unlike the other wings of the system, the Carpathians, which form the watershed between the northern seas and the Black Sea, are surrounded on all sides by plains, namely the Pannonian plain on the south-west, the plain of the Lower Danube (Romania) on the south, and the Galician plain on the north-east.
		The border between the Eastern and Southern Carpathians is formed by the Predeal Pass, south of Braşov and the Prahova Valley.

		Primarily though, apart from the omnivorous bears, the prey of the large carnivores is the ungulate population of the mountains and forests.
		During the expedition a broad range of tracks were observed in the snow, including those of all three carnivores, boar, red and roe deer, chamois, mustelids and like martens, weasels and perhaps stoats, foxes and possibly wildcats, squirrels, hares, and even, on occasion, mice.
		The range of species observed even in harsh winter conditions in the Carpathian mountains can only hint at what may be there in the early summer when food in plentiful and year round population is joined by migrant birds.

	ABOUT THE CARPATHIANS - Carpathian Heritage Society (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The situation of the Carpathians, on the boundary line between western and eastern Europe, is reflected in the features of their climate, which in winter is governed by the inflow of polar-continental air masses arriving from the east and northeast, while during other seasons oceanic air masses from the west predominate.
		The Carpathians thus possess certain features of a continental climate, although from the viewpoint of relief they constitute a sort of island amid the surrounding plains, where the climate is much drier.
		For the Polish part of the Carpathians, a series of climatic types and stages has been distinguished; and with slight modification these may be applied to the whole Carpathian mountain range.
