    In this paper, for a simple algebraic group of finite classical type, the authors gave an isomorphism between the geometric crystal on the flag variety and the one arising from the maximal unipotent subgroup, which was expected in [\textit{T. Nakashima}, J. Algebra 293, No. 1, 65--88 (2005; Zbl 1161.17319)]. It was shown in [\textit{A. Berenstein} and \textit{D. Kazhdan}, Alon, N. (ed.) et al., GAFA 2000. Visions in mathematics -- Towards 2000. Tel Aviv, Israel, 1999. Part I. Basel: Birkhäuser, 188--236 (2000; Zbl 1044.17006)] and [\textit{T. Nakashima}, J. Geom. Phys. 53, No. 2, 197--225 (2005; Zbl 1156.17304)] that Schubert varieties have geometric crystal structures. On the other hand, in [J. Algebra 293, No. 1, 65--88 (2005; Zbl 1161.17319)], the second author presented geometric/unipotent crystal structure on unipotent subgroup of semisimple algebraic groups. In this paper, for finite classical type, they give an isomorphism between these two geometric crystals by investigating certain reduced longest Weyl group elements and the fundamental representations.
