STUNNING MOUNTAIN RANGES
Added on: 24th Jan 2016
SMOKY MOUNTAINS
The Smoky Mountains are part of the most visited region in the
United States. As you can guess, the mountains are appropriately
named as quite often a natural fog encompasses them.
TATRAS
Forming part of the border between Poland and Slovakia, the Tatras
are significantly smaller than the Alps in terms of land area
but just as rugged and rocky in terms of appearance.
ATLAS MOUNTAINS
Separating the Mediterranean coastline from the Sahara Desert,
the Atlas Mountains stretch across north western Africa.
WESTERN GHATS
Running parallel to the western coast of India, this mountain
range is one of the most biologically diverse places on the planet.
GREAT DIVIDING RANGE
Australia’s largest range and the third longest land based range
in the world, the Great Dividing Range stretches for nearly
3,500 km (2,175 miles).
SOUTHERN ALPS
Covering a vast portion of New Zealand’s southern island, the
climate here is very cold with snow all year round at the highest points.
ANDES
The longest land based mountain range in the world, the Andes
run most of the length of South America and are also the world’s
highest mountain range outside of Asia.
HINDU CUSH
A subrange of the Himalayas, the Hindu Cush stretch between
Afghanistan and Pakistan. Due to conflict in the region it is not
the safest place to visit, but apart from that the mountains are
some of the highest and most impressive in the world.
