There is a well written explanation to this problem on the German page to this topic. Basically there are two different views on where the border between Europe and Asia is. Some say it is north of the Caucasus Mountains and some say it goes right trough. Depending on this the highest mountain in Europe is either Mont Blanc or Elbrus.

Revision as of 22:43, 27 October 2006
This article should probably be split into two different articles, one covering the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range, and one covering the Lesser Caucasus Mountains. It will be easier to classify and describe the two different mountain systems this way (which are considerably different from each other geomorphologically). In addition, the map of the caucasus mountains which is used on this page only highlights the Greater Caucasus Range and not the Lesser Caucasus. D.Papuashvili 07:37, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
Some time ago I started small Greater Caucasus and Lesser Caucasus articles. Please feel free to update them. The common article makes sense as well, as a summary for the whole territory. mikka (t) 18:12, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi mikka. Your suggestions sound good to me. I looked at the pages for the two different mountain ranges and maybe we can start adding the additional information to those pages also. D.Papuashvili 18:12, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Highest point in Europe
I reverted changes by someone (84.222.81.155) who removed references to Mount Elbrus being the highest in Europe, but perhaps something should be added to this page that explains why some people don't believe the Caucasus Mountains to be part of Europe. - Template:Country data flagicon calum 13:22, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

General Map of the area
I believe there should be a general map of the area, showing its physical location, etc.
