What’s going on in Belarus?
Interestingly, the spanish highest point pictured there is actually nowhere to be seen on this map, as it’s located in the Canary islands, further to the south.
Likewise for Portugal. Its highest point is Pico, in the Azores archipelago.
Now people get to argue about which parts of Turkey and Russia are in Europe. Kaliningrad is Asia but “Europe” borders Iran.
said 5167(?) is mount Ararat and it’s clearly not in Europe
but!
when the Europe/Asia separation is based on identity politics… (cough: religion) and Georgia, Armenia or Cyprus is included in Europe but not Turkey, there’s no need to argue 🤷
Ararat’s Armenian history shouldn’t be ignored either
Today I learned Denmark has less elevation than the Netherlands
The only reason the Netherlands has that high a number, is because of the hill on which the Dutch, German, and Belgian borders meet. If you take Limburg out of the equation, the next highest point is 110 meters.
In two of the Dutch provinces, the highest point is a garbage dump hill.

Which two provinces?
According to wikipedia, Noord Brabant and Drenthe. My “research” hasn’t gone any deeper than that.

The highest point in Europe is actually in Asia, interesting…
