About Ural Mountains

The Ural Mountains, or simply the Urals, are a mountain range in Eurasia that runs north–south mostly through Russia, from the coast of the Arctic Ocean to the river Ural and northwestern Kazakhstan. The mountain range forms part of the conventional boundary between the continents of Europe and Asia, marking the separation between European Russia and Siberia. Vaygach Island and the islands of Novaya Zemlya form continuations of the chain to the north into the Arctic Ocean. The average altitudes of the Urals are around 1,000–1,300 metres (3,300–4,300 ft), the highest point being Mount Narodnaya, which reaches a height of 1,894 metres (6,214 ft).

  1. The Ural? The Ural. Is that a famous ship? I'd not heard of it before. No, but there's a place called the Ural Mountains. Oh, okay. All right. This was commissioned in 1989, and it was 265 meters long, 36,000 tons, basically it was so large that nowhere was big enough to dock it. They had to dock it just off the harbour and just use it as a place where soldiers and naval officers could just have as a base and track things and so on.
