This is a cache for mountaineers. Mt.Elbrus is the highest point of Europe - one of the SEVEN SUMMITS!
Mount Elbrus (Karachay-Balkar: ????? ???, Mingi Taw, Russian: ???????, Elbrus) is an inactive volcano located in the western Caucasus mountain range, in Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia, Russia, near the border of Georgia. Mt. Elbrus's highest peak is the highest mountain in the Caucasus, in Russia. While there are differing authorities on how the Caucasus are distributed between Europe and Asia, many sources agree that Elbrus is also the highest mountain in all of Europe[5]. Mt. Elbrus (west summit) stands at 5,642 metres (18,510 ft); the east summit is slightly lower at 5,621 metres (18,442 ft).
