Mount Elbrus on a topographic survey map at 1:50, 000 from one of the Russian Army Cartographic Units, in a bilingual Russian/ English edition. The map shows the south-eastern approaches to the summit from the Azau Valley. Contour lines are at 20m intervals, with peak heights & graphics for rocky outcrops, snow covered or exposed ice fields, etc. Colouring shows glaciers & forested areas. The map shows local roads in the valley, cart tracks & foot paths, as well as other information usually found on topographic survey maps at this scale: settlements & individual buildings, bridges, electricity transmission lines, etc. Latitude & longitude lines are drawn at 5’ intervals. All place names are given in both Cyrillic & Latin alphabets &, where appropriate, with English translations (e.g. Gikiugankez Snow Valley, Hasankoi-Syryulgen Pass, etc.). Map legend is also bilingual. On the reverse is a topographic map at 1:100, 000 showing the area from the peak to Sochi, Novorossiysk & Krasnodar, plus bilingual notes on the region. Also provided, but in Russian only, are a table showing the chill factor for various combinations of temperature & wind speed, international codes for conveying information to mountain rescue services, & other information for climbers.* *IMPORTANT
