Mount Elbrus in Russia is the highest peak in Europe, at 5,642 m above sea level.
The Full Story
Mount Elbrus, in the Caucasus Mountains of southern Russia, is widely recognized as the highest mountain in Europe. Its western summit reaches 5,642 m, making it significantly taller than the Alps’ highest peak, Mont Blanc. Elbrus is a dormant volcano with two distinct summits, both capped by glaciers. Its exact continental status is sometimes discussed because the Europe-Asia boundary runs through the Caucasus region, but it is the standard answer in most geography references.
