Interestingly, the spanish highest point pictured there is actually nowhere to be seen on this map, as it's located in the Canary islands, further to the south.
Likewise for Portugal. Its highest point is Pico, in the Azores archipelago.
Now ask France and Italy which side it is
As long as we can still get access to the water from said mountain to brew beer, it doesn't matter :D
What is that 5165m mountain? I've always been told that the Mont-Blanc was the highest mountain of Europe and now I'm confused.
EDIT: Ararat mount in East Turkey. Considered an Asian mountain on Wikipedia.
Probably something in the Caucasus, or at least in Asian Turkey
Today I learned Denmark has less elevation than the Netherlands
Denmark is super flat. I believe the highest point is the pylons of the bridge between the two Major islands, Funen and Zealand.
If we count all man made structures, I believe there are 18 radio transmitter towers that are taller than the bridge pylons.
Now people get to argue about which parts of Turkey and Russia are in Europe. Kaliningrad is Asia but “Europe” borders Iran.
said 5167(?) is mount Ararat and it's clearly not in Europe
but!
when the Europe/Asia separation is based on identity politics… (cough: religion) and Georgia, Armenia or Cyprus is included in Europe but not Turkey, there's no need to argue 🤷
Ararat's Armenian history shouldn't be ignored either
The highest point in Europe is actually in Asia, interesting...
For the map enthused!
