Mount Naroda (Russian: Народа) is the highest peak of the Urals, located on the border of Komi Republic and Tyumen Oblast in Russia. Its height is 1,894 m. It is formed with quartzites and metamorphosed slates of the Proterozoic and Cambrian eras. There are some glaciers on the mountain. Also, there are sparse forests of larch and birch in deep valleys at the foot of the Mount Naroda. The slopes of the mountain are covered with highland tundra. 85.21.30.131 16:12, 8 January 2006 (UTC)Correct name of highest peak of the Urals is "Naroda" but not "Narodnaya". Probably this name go on mansi language (mansi - people who is living on Polarny and Pripolarny Ural). Naroda is in very hard-to-reach district, in this conextion name "Narodnaya" ("People's Mount")is difficult explainable. In addition to this name "Naroda" is mark on the topographical map Q 41-97-98, 1980 edition (http://mapq41.narod.ru)/
