"The geographical marker "Europe - Asia was erected in 1837 on the
slope of Berezovaja hill (413 m.), the highest point on the Siberian
trail, crossing the Ural mountains from west to east. The Ural ridge
is the main watershed, the natural boundary between two parts of the
world which was scientifically established in the beginning of the
18th century by the Russian historian and geographer V.N. Tatièev."
