Europe’s highest summit

Europe’s highest point depends on where the boundary between Europe and Asia is drawn. If the Caucasus is included in Europe, the highest summit is Elbrus (5,642 m). If the Caucasus is excluded, the highest is Mont Blanc in the Alps, about 4,807 m, though its snow summit’s measured elevation varies over time.
