☁️ Tyrnyauz: A Stone's Throw from the Sky!

🏔 The highest mountain town in Russia is located in Kabardino-Balkaria, just 40 km from the two-headed Elbrus. The small Tyrnyauz is built at an altitude of over 1300 m. The streets of the city, whose name translates as "crane gorge", are framed by picturesque mountains.

⚒ The lands in the Baksan river valley are rich in minerals, so for a long time tungsten, molybdenum, marble, building gypsum and roofing slate were mined in Tyrnyauz. Now the local plant is closed and the population is declining. However, the residents of Tyrnyauz do not lose hope and associate the revival of the city with the development of tourism.

🎉 Since October 26, 2014, there have been 11 time zones in the territory of the Russian Federation. Each subject of Russia is included in one time zone, with the exception of Yakutia: its territory is located in three time zones.

😀 Another interesting fact:

🇷🇺🇺🇸 The Russian island of Ratmanov and the island of Kruzenshtern in the USA are separated by only four kilometers of sea.

2️⃣1️⃣ On a regular motorboat, this distance can be covered in 15-20 minutes. But it's not that simple. According to Greenwich Mean Time, the islands are separated by exactly 21 hours: if it is noon on Thursday on Ratmanov Island, then it is three o'clock in the afternoon on Wednesday on Kruzenshtern Island.
