The Alps are a range of mountains in Europe caused by uplift in the European Plate as it is impacted by the African Plate moving north; they stretch from Italy through France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria, and into Slovenia. The highest peaks in Europe (outside of the Caucasus mountains) are located in the Alps. Mont Blanc (4810 meters), Dufourspitze (4634 meters) and the world famous Matterhorn (4478 meters) are official and well known alpine four-thousanders. Many areas of the Alps are covered by eternal snow and ice.
The Australian Alps may not be very high by world standards-Mt Kosciuszko is 2,228 metres above sea level, while Mt Bogong, the highest in Victoria, is 1,986m, and Mt Bimberi, the highest in the Australian Capital Territory, is 1,911m-but Australia's Alps are remarkable for their age and formation.his cold period is known to geologists as the Pleistocene epoch. Because the Australian Alps are only of modest height, the highest point being Mt Kosciuszko at 2228 m, glaciers were formed only on the very highest parts (above 2000 m) in the vicinity of Mt Kosciuszko.
