Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about!
Atlas Mountains
The Atlas Mountains are a mountain range in located in northwest Africa.
It stretches around 2,500 kilometers (1,600 miles) through Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.The Atlas Mountains are not a continuous chain of mountains but a series of ranges separated by wide areas of land, which are called plateaus.
The mountain range separates the Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines from the Sahara Desert. It has several passes that provide routes between the coast and the Sahara desert. Toubkal, located in Morocco, is the highest peak in the range, and in North Africa. It is 4,167 meters (13,671 feet) high.
The second and third highest peaks in the Atlas range are on the mountain Ouanoukrim in Morocco. The two summits are Timzguida which is 4,089 meters (13,415 feet) high and Ras Ouanoukrim which reaches 4,083 meters (13,396 feet).
The range can be divided into four general regions:
• Middle Atlas, High Atlas and Anti-Atlas (Morocco).
• Saharan Atlas (Algeria).
• Tell Atlas (Algeria, Tunisia).
• Aurès Mountains (Algeria, Tunisia).
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
