5047 m hoch, überragt der Vulkan Kasbegi Mount Kazbek, Georgia die einzigartige Landschaft, benannt nach dem georgischen Dichter Alexander Kasbegi, der die Gegend oftmals in seinen Romanen verewigte. In den vergletscherten Wänden des Berges musste schon Prometheus für seinen Frevel, den Menschen das Feuer gebracht zu haben, büßen.
