Topic: Ciscaucasus


  
  Caucasus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Caucasus Mountains are commonly reckoned as a dividing line between Asia and Europe, and territories in Caucasia are variably considered to be in one or both continents; for example, the Persian name for the region (harking of Asiatic links) is Qafqâz.
The northern portion of the Caucasus is known as the Ciscaucasus and the southern portion as the Transcaucasus.
The highest peak in the Caucasus is Mount Elbrus (5,642 m) which, in the western Ciscaucasus in Russia, is generally considered the highest point in Europe.
