Belarusian Ridge

The Belarusian Ridge (Belarusian: Беларуская града, romanized: Bielaruskaja hrada) is a line of terminal moraines, which is almost entirely in the northwest of Belarus. The feature is part of the East European Plain. This ridge, consisting of low, rolling hills, runs for about 500 km in the direction from west-southwest to east-northeast, from the area of the Brest region, which is close to the border of Poland to the Russian town of Smolensk. The ridge is a limit of the last advance of the ice sheet, which defines its geological constitution: mostly moraine loams with added glacial and alluvial sediments. River valleys divide the ridge into sections, uplands. The ridge stretches approximately from west to east and separated two major lowlands: Polesie Lowland to the south and Neman Lowland and Polatsk Lowland to the north.
