The Ural Mountains are a mountain range that separates Asia from Europe. They stretch from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Caspian Sea in the south. The Ural Mountains are about 2,500 km (1,500 miles) long and vary in width from 50 to 150 km (30 to 90 miles). They are not particularly high, and the highest peak, Mount Narodnaya, is only 1,895 m (6,217 ft) tall. The Ural Mountains are a natural boundary between Europe and Asia, and they have been used as a political boundary for centuries.
