The Shevchenko Peak ( Russian пик Шевченко ) is a mountain in the north of the Greater Caucasus in the Russian Federation .
The 4200 m high mountain in the south of the Suganski ridge ( Суганский хребет ) is covered by snow and glaciers. Another source names 4161 m as the height.
First ascent and naming
The mountain was named after the Ukrainian national poet Taras Shevchenko by the Dnipropetrovsk mountaineers, led by Alexander Semenowitsch Sjusin ( Александр Семенович Зюзин ; 1903–1985), who first climbed the then nameless mountain . On the second ascent in 1964 a bust of the poet was erected in honor of Shevchenko's 150th birthday and since the third ascent and first winter ascent in 1989, a bronze plaque has been on the summit in honor of his 175th birthday.
Geographical location
The summit is in the east of the Kabardino-Balkaria High Mountain Nature Reserve . It is located in the southeast of the Tscherekski Rajon of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic in the Russian federal district of North Caucasus not far from the border with Georgia . Whether the Shevchenko Peak is in Europe or Asia depends on the definition of the inner Eurasian border .
