Snow, ice, and gray stone — such is the landscape of the northern mountains. Few can appreciate the inhospitable beauty of these places. The harsh climate makes the northern mountains unappealing for tourists and explorers, but that does not stop the occasional expedition into the region in search of new deposits of valuable metals and minerals.
