Pyrenees [mountain range] - Pyrenees

Japanese: ピレネー[山脈] - ピレネー
Pyrenees [mountain range] - Pyrenees
A mountain range that runs roughly east-west along the border between France and Spain in southwestern Europe. In Spanish, it is called Pirineos. It stretches for about 440 km, with its highest peak being Pico de Aneto (3,404 m) in the central Maladetta Mountains. Formed by the Alpine orogeny, the terrain is rugged and there are many rapids. Glaciers are only found in a few areas, but glacial landforms are widely distributed. It is home to the Roncesvalles Pass (1,057 m), famous for The Song of Roland. The Perdu (Perdido) mountain area in the center was registered as a World Heritage Site (combining nature and culture) by France and Spain in 1997, and still retains the tradition of highland transhumance.
