Definition
A major mountain range between France and Spain in southwestern Europe.
Etymology
From Latin 'Pyrenaeus,' which may come from Greek 'pyr' (fire), possibly because of volcanic activity, or from a local tribal name. The exact origin is debated by etymologists, but it's one of Europe's oldest geographical names.
Kelly Says
The Pyrenees have served as a natural border between France and Spain for over a thousand years, making them one of the most historically important mountain ranges in European politics—yet many people have never heard of them compared to the Alps!
