Caucuses:
(Georgia and Azerbaijan) Mountain of Tongues
Called the “Mountain of Tongues” by Arab geographers, the Caucuses are one of the most ethnically complex regions in the world. This show explores the entire southern flanks of the Caucuses including the former soviet republics of Azerbaijan and Georgia. From the linguistically isolated mountainous village of Xinalug in Eastern Azerbaijan to the war torn breakaway republic of S. Ossetia and on to the spectacular medieval defense towers of Ushguli in Georgia and on to the war-torn breakaway republic of S. Ossetia, your eyes will be opened to a region unknown to the outside world.
