Sign in to saveAlso known as Mount Pindus
The Pindus, Pindos or Pindhos is a mountain range located in Northern Greece and Southern Albania. It is roughly long, with a maximum elevation of (Mount Smolikas). Because it runs north to south along much of mainland Greece, the Pindus range is known colloquially as the spine of Greece. The mountain range stretches from near the Greek-Albanian border in southern Albania, entering the Epirus and Macedonia regions in northern Greece down to the north of the Peloponnese. Geologically, it is an extension of the Dinaric Alps, which dominate the western region of the Balkan Peninsula.
The Pindus is a major north-south mountain range that runs through northern Greece and into southern Albania, earning it the nickname "the spine of Greece" because of its central location along the Greek mainland. It matters geologically as an extension of the Dinaric Alps and serves as a defining geographical feature that has shaped the regions of Epirus, Macedonia, and the approach to the Peloponnese.

ピンドス山脈（ギリシア語: Πίνδος, Pindus, Pindos, Pindhos）は、ギリシャ北部とアルバニア南部に連なる山地。全長はおよそ160キロメートル、最高峰は標高2,637メートルのスモリカス山である。ピンドゥス山脈とも表記される。 テッサリアとイピロスの境をなしているため、「ギリシャの背骨」として知られる。アルバニア領の北イピロスからギリシャ北部のイピロスおよびマケドニアを経て、ペロポネソス半島にいたる。地質学的には、バルカン半島西部のディナル・アルプス山脈の延長部にあたる。
