The Greater Caucasus harbors Europe's highest mountain, Mt. Elbrus, with 5642 m in the western part of the Greater Caucasus (Fig. 1). The North Caucasus (Ciscaucasia) includes parts of Georgia (especially in Khevsureti, Pshavi, and Tusheti) as well as parts of the Republics of Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia, Ingushetia, North Ossetia, Chechnya and Dagestan of the Russian Federation, and the Southern (Trans) Caucasus.
