Podolian Upland
The Podolian Upland (Podolian Plateau) or Podillia Upland (, podilska vysochyna) is a highland area in southwestern Ukraine, on the left (northeast) bank of the Dniester River, with small portions in its western extent stretching into eastern Poland. The region lies roughly between the Southern Bug and Dniester Rivers, with the Western Bug also originating in the northwest of the highlands. The average altitude of the Podolian Upland is over 300 m with the maximum being a hill known as Kamula Mountain, at 471 m. The surface is characterized by a combination of wide flat interfluves and deep canyon-like valleys (so called dales) dissected into separate natural sub-regions: The Podolian Upland and the Volhynian Upland are sometimes grouped together as the Volhynian-Podolian Upland.
