Southern Ural, Mountain range in western Russia
The Southern Ural extends 550 kilometers through Russia, featuring multiple parallel ridges reaching heights of 1,640 meters at Mount Yamantau.
Russian exploration of the Southern Ural intensified after the defeat of the Khanate of Kazan in 1550, leading to the establishment of Ufa in 1574.
The mountain range territory houses different ethnic groups including Russians, Tatars, and Bashkirs, each maintaining their traditional customs and languages.
The region contains numerous mineral deposits, particularly iron and copper, which support extensive mining operations and industrial development throughout the area.
Underground streams and caves form within the western slopes due to karst formations, while rocky outcrops characterize the eastern side of the range.
