The '''Pyrenees''hi' 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.

While the mountains appear craggy and unworn, most geologists believe that they are actually older than the [[Alps]].<ref>http://uk.encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761556167/Pyrenees.html</ref> This is due to the preponderance of hard-wearing granite and comparatively little glaciation.
