Polonynian Mountains
Polonynian Beskids or Polonyne Beskids ( uk, Полонинські Бескиди; pl, Beskidy Połonińskie) is a geological group of mountain ranges of the Eastern Beskids, within the Outer Eastern Carpathians. It is one of two parallel mountain ridges of the Eastern Beskids, situated in western parts of modern Ukraine. They are stretching parallel to the Wooded Beskids on the northeast, and Vihorlat-Gutin Area to the southwest. The name of this mountain range is derived from Slavic term '' polonyna'', designating a particular type of montane meadows, characteristic for those parts of the Carpathians. Thus, the very term ''polonyne'' or ''polonynian'' Beskids translates as ''Meadowed Beskids''. In Polish and Ukrainian terminology, this range is most commonly called the "Polonynian Beskids" ( uk, Полонинські Бескиди; pl, Beskidy Połoniński), while in Slovakia it is also defined in a much wider sense, under the local term ''Poloniny'' ( sk, Poloniny). The t ...
