    BEFORE YOU COMMENT ABOUT SPAIN OR SOMETHING, READ THIS Hey everyone. I want to address the many, many comments I've gotten about the countries I chose to include on this list. As I stated at the start of the video, I only included countries that geographically are in Europe or have a portion of their territory in Europe. Since Europe's borders are imaginary, I used a common definition, which (among other things) uses the Eurasian Plate and the Caucasus watershed as borders. So, this excludes Armenia, Cyprus, and the Canaries. On the other hand, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan all have small portions of land in Europe, therefore they were included. Despite some of these countries being more European than Asian sociopolitically, or vice versa, geography was the only consideration for this video. Hope this helps to clear up any confusion.

    While Møllehøj is the tallest point in Denmark, the realm also includes Greenland and the Faroe islands. Greenland is not in Euorpe but the Faroe Islands are. Therefore the highpoint should be Slættaratindur with a height of 880 metres.

    In Crete there are two different mountains with almost the same height (Psiloritis at 2456m and The White Mountains at 2454m), so the climbers that reach the peaks stack rocks on top of each other in order to make their peaks the tallest in Crete.

    While Møllehøj is the highest peak in the Denmark proper, it's not the highest European peak of the Danish Kingdom, that honour belongs to the Faroese mountain of Slættaratindur, which has a height of 880 m.

I was also quite surprised that Khazakhstan made it onto this list, since I thought that it was in Asia, not Europe. Of the various European high points you covered in this video, I have hiked to the top of two of them: Ben Nevis in the UK and Moldoveanu in Romania's Fagaras mountains (part of the southern Carpathian chain).

    Fun fact: Elbrus, for those who don’t know is a dormant volcano. Thought that people who like to know the origin of certain mountains would want to know that. It has two summits, one at 5,621m (18,442 ft) and the other at 5,642m (18,510 ft). It’s last eruption was around 50AD, give or take 50 years. Technically speaking in geological terms that’s pretty recent making it technically an active volcano as it meets the criteria given by most volcanologists: 1) having erupted in the past 10,000 years(“historical times” they say). 2) Showing signs of activity or unrest. Which Elbrus has several hot springs and active fumaroles. Hopefully we all get to see this volcano erupt in our lifetime. However it may be dangerous to anyone near because of its heavily ice and snow capped summit, which an eruption would cause massive lahars and pyroclastic flows. Hope you enjoyed the quick geek out.

    Fascinating video, which would have taken a considerable amount f research. What is exemplified is that quality of view and chellenge of climb is not always correlated to height. For instance, you showed the north face of Mulhacen in Spain. From experience the south side is a gentle dead easy walk. Also one minor correction. The summit of Mont Blank is solely in France. A south eastern subsidiary summit, Monte Bianco di Courmayeur is just 100 m away, and at 4736m is the official highest point in Italy

    Excuse sir, but in Spain we have some little islands called Canary Islands or Islas Canarias in Spanish. They are located near Africa and they belong to Spain, there’s one in particular called Tenerife, where there’s a Volcano called El Teide which is the tallest peak in Spain, with and astonishing 3718m and snow almost every year, which is pretty cool in my opinion considering the Canaries are a Hawaiian-ish islands. Just wanted to take that off my chest. Have a nice day y’all!

    An eternal controversy is the question if the Caucasus belongs to Europe or not. North of it the Manytch plain in Russia is seen mostly as the transition area to Asia without a definable border. More or less officially the Ural mountains and the Ural River are considered as border. In this case the Russian city of Magnitogorsk is also lying on two continents, like its counterpart metropolis Istanbul.
