И снова Урал! На этот раз для победителя первого тура загадок. На фотографиях показан Южный Урал, а если быть точнее, на первом снимке — Ямантау – высшая точка Южного Урала, расположенная в Белорецком районе Республики Башкортостан (1656 метров). На втором — Иремель – вторая по величине вершина Южного Урала высотой 1582 м. На территории хребта Аваляк, откуда берут начало притоки реки Белая, и горы Иремель создан национальный парк «Иремель». И уже завтра утром на странице в Twitter ждите новую загадку! // Ural once again! This time for the first quiz tour winner. The photos show Southern Ural, with Mount Yamantau specifically in the first photo. This is the highest (1,656 m) peak of the Southern Ural located in Bashkortostan. The second photo shows the second highest mountain Iremel (1,582 m). The Iremel Natural Park was created in the Avalyak mountain ridge area with the Belaya river feeders. #союзмс16 #soyuzms16 #мкс63 #iss63 #мкс #iss #Урал #Ural #Ямантау #Yamantau #Аваляк #Avalyak

“And again the Urals! The photographs show the South Urals, and more precisely, the first image, Yamantau, which is the highest point of the South Urals, located in the Beloretsky district of the Republic of Bashkortostan (1,656 metres). On the second is Iremel, the second largest peak of the South Urals with a height of 1,582 metres,” Vagner wrote.
