All Glaciers of the Caucasus

This child group collects Glaciers of Europe members located in the Caucasus range, principally on and around Mount Kazbek in Georgia and neighboring parts of the Russian Caucasus. The Caucasus straddles the conventional Europe-Asia boundary, and this atlas follows the common convention of treating its glaciers as European for grouping purposes; it is the smallest of the Alps-Scandinavia-Caucasus trio, reflecting a smaller and less exhaustively individually named set of glacial features than the two larger ranges.
