Where is this photo of a group of hikers taken? Is it really in the Ural?

This photo illustrates a chapter on how to get ready for a hike, in which we talk about equipment, backpacks and clothing. All photos represent a visual style of the article, and not a frame-by-frame review of the Ural mountains. Thank you very much for your keen interest!

Ushba, Upper Svaneti, Georgia

I dug around in the photos posted by that same photographer on Shutterstock, and found this landscape image. The peak in the landscape appears to be the same peak as in the photo of the hikers. In the images below, I’ve circled five of the features that I’m basing this on.

A photo allegedly from Ural
A photo from Georgia

The distinctive snow-capped peak in the landscape photo is obscured by cloud in the photo of the hikers. Note also that the clouds in the photo of the hikers cast shadows that make parts of the mountain terrain appear to have different colors than they do in the full-sun landscape photo.

The landscape photo is captioned by the photographer as Upper Svaneti, Georgia in the Caucasus Mountains. This photo, again by the same photographer, shows the same mountain peak and is captioned Ushba. The Caucasus Mountains are not in the Ural Mountains (or vice versa.)
