Elburz [Mountain] - Elburz

Japanese: エルブルズ[山脈] - エルブルズ

In Persian, it is called the Alborz Mountains. A mountain range that runs east-west along the southern coast of the Caspian Sea in northern Iran. It is about 1000 km long. The average elevation is 3000 m, and the highest peak is Mount Damavand (5671 m). It blocks the moisture from the Caspian Sea, so the southern slope is a dry area with very little rain, but the northern slope is cultivated. It is also rich in hydropower and is currently being developed.
