The Ural Mountains of Russia form the traditional boundary between Europe and Asia. The Urals are about 2,500 kilometres long. They extend from the Kara Sea in the north to the Ural River in the south. The highest peak is Mount Narodnaya at 1,895 metres. The northern slopes of the Urals are mostly covered with forests. Common trees include oak, linden, elm, fir, pine, and spruce. Treeless land called tundra is found in the far north, especially at high elevations. Arctic foxes, reindeer, brown bears, lynx, wolverines, and elk are among the animals of the range. A couple of centuries ago, the fauna was richer than it is today. Farming, hunting, and deforestation destroyed the habitats of many animals. Wild horses have disappeared. Herds of deer have migrated deep into the tundra. At the same time, hamsters and field mice have spread in the land now used for farming.

Ice hockey has a long history. It started on frozen lakes and rivers of Canadian winters in the 19th century. Now the games are played at high-tech arenas before 20,000 fans and are shown on TV. Though the rules and equipment have changed through the sport's 128-year history, the spirit of the game remains the same. Hockey has always been a sport of speed and grace mixed with a certain amount of violence. That combination has proven irresistible to fans for over a century. A crowd of 5,000 reportedly watched the first ever Stanley Cup competition in 1893. During the 2002/2003 season, attendance at national Hockey League games topped 20 million. The history of hockey holds more than just changing rules and regulations. A host of colourful characters, interesting traditions, and strange events mark hockey's timeline.
