The Ural Mountains extend about 2,500 km (1,600 mi) from the Kara Sea to the Kazakh Steppe along the border of Kazakhstan.
Vaygach Island and the island of Novaya Zemlya form a further continuation of the chain on the north.
Geographically this range marks the northern part of the border between the continents of Europe and Asia.
Its highest peak is Mount Narodnaya, approximately 1,895 m (6,217 ft) in elevation.

By topography and other natural features, the Urals are divided, from north to south, into the Polar (or Arctic), Nether-Polar (or Sub-Arctic), Northern, Central and Southern parts.
