Mount Small Ararat

Ararat (Turkish Ağrı Dağı, Armenian Արարատ and Armenian Մասիս (Masis), Kurdish Çiyayê Agirî) is a volcanic massif located in eastern Turkey. It is the highest peak not only in Turkey but also in the entire Armenian Highlands, and is classified as a stratovolcano. Ararat is located in the Ağrı Province, on the right bank of the middle course of the Aras River, just 16 kilometers from the border with Iran and 32 kilometers from the border with Armenia. This massif consists of two cones of dormant volcanoes that have merged at their bases: Greater Ararat and Lesser Ararat. The height of Greater Ararat is 5165 meters above sea level, and Lesser Ararat is 3896 meters (according to other sources - 3925 m). The distance between these two cones is 11 km.
