Our target mountain looms ahead. We are at the upper limit of agriculture, above which the land is too steep for terracing. Dr. Averyanov from the Russian Academy of Sciences estimates our elevation to be about 1,000 meters above sea level, based on temperate genera such as Ranunculus, Potentilla, Viola and Geranium found here.
