The '''Pyrenees''' are a [[Europe]]an mountain range, running from the [[Atlantic Ocean]] to the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. They form the natural border between [[France]] and [[Spain]], and the small country of [[Andorra]] lies entirely within the Pyrenees between the two. The highest mountain in the range is Pico de Aneto (11,168 feet) and a number of other peaks closely approach this height. A few small but shrinking [[glacier]]s remain. Much of the Pyrenees is snowbound in winter, some of the higher passes not reopening until early summer.
