Stratovolcano in the Caucasus, on the border of the republics of Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia. Elbrus is located north of the Greater Caucasus Range and is the highest peak in Russia. Considering that the border between Europe and Asia is ambiguous, Elbrus is often called the highest European mountain peak, that is, it is referred to the list of "Seven Summits".
According to one of the versions, the name Elbrus comes from the Iranian Aitibares - "high Mountain", more likely - the Iranian "sparkling, shiny" (like Elburs in Iran). The Georgian name Yalbuz - from the Turkic yal - "storm" and buz - "ice". The Armenian Alberis is probably a phonetic version of the Georgian name, but the possibility of a connection with the common Indo-European basis, to which the toponym "Alps" goes back, is not excluded.
