Babis Mta (also known as Donguzorun) is a glacier-covered peak in the central part of the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range. The mountain is located on the border of Georgia and Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia. The elevation of the mountain is 4,454 metres (14,613 ft) above sea level. The Tsalgmili Range branches off from the southern flank of the mountain. The glaciers of Ledeshdvi, Dolra and Donguzorun descend from the slopes of Babis Mta.
Ansel Adams paid tribute to Sella's greatness in a 1946 article for the Sierra Club Bulletin when he wrote, "with Sella's sensitive insight and response the magnificence of mountains is distilled into a high order of expression."
