Why does Mont Blanc work for Mount Elbrus?

Depending on the definition of the Seven Summits being used, either mountain could be considered the highest in Europe. Jetpunk usually would define Mount Elbrus as the highest European mountain, but I included Mont Blanc as a typein for complainers.

Wosh, great quiz. (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

Surprisingly I got all which I never expected. Btw, Nile is not accepted for the first clue of River and so I didn't even try typing it for the rest. It's definitely longer than 321 km

Which are the 89 mountains that don't start with "mount"? Surely this nomenclature is absurd. It's like saying that the Grande river begins with an "R" because it's usually called "RIO Grande" whilst the Nile doesn't, even though it is the river Nile.

"mount blanc" didn't work for "in the Northern hemisphere".

Otherwise great quiz, although Eurasian plate is maybe not the trickiest answer

It's Mount Blanc, not Mont Blanc. Although strangely, Mount Blanc works for all of the other hints (even the ones after) except for the Northern Hemisphere.

Eurasian Plate was the only one I knew, so was not so difficult, I guess I was lucky
