Quite unusually, the holiday dedicated to the parts of the earth surface rising above the plains. However, rock formations covered a quarter of the Earth's surface and it is home to 10 percent of the world's population lives and a lot of animals, not to mention plants. This is an important holiday for Russia as the mountains occupy a huge area of the state.
