Mount Kazbek
GEORGIA
Mount Kazbek, a dormant stratovolcano, is one of the dominant mountains of the Caucasus. It is located in Georgia near the border between Georgia and Russia, towering over the town of Stepantsminda. It is the third-highest mountain in Georgia (after Mount Shkhara and Janga) and the seventh-highest peak in the Caucasus Mountains. The name in Georgian is Mqinvari, which translates to "glacier" or "Ice Mountain." Mount Kazbek is associated in Georgian folklore with Amirani, the Georgian version of Prometheus, who was chained on the mountain in punishment for having stolen fire from the gods and given it to mortals.
