[edit] There aint verifiliability
"the Riphean Mountains in Greco-Roman antiquity" I tried to find this in Spanish... After all, "Riphean" is just a transliteration into the English alphabet of the greek way to name them and "mountains" a translation... The same shall exist for Spanish... But I found no single answer to this intrigue... Said that, there's few paegs in English that second this... Most are wikipedia's mirrors... So... Is there any reliable proof to this?Undead Herle King (talk) 15:13, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Others
The words concluding this article seem suspiscious to me--there really is a section of the Urals called the Crappy urals? Is this a linguistic thing that is really name like that or did somebody just decide to come along and add that inconspicuously as a joke? Can someone verify this?
- Turns out it was a bit of vandalism that managed to slip under the radar. Someone replaced "Subarctic" with "Crappy" on the 20th. I've reverted the change; you can see both edits under this article's page history. To learn how to revert vandalism yourself, see Wikipedia:How to revert a page to an earlier version.

Can someone add to this, I've heard things about radioactive waste being sent there and stuff, and yet this article makes no mention of it...
