Ağrı Dağı

Ağrı Dağı, also known as Mount Ararat, is the highest peak in Turkey, standing at 5,137 meters (16,854 feet). It is a dormant stratovolcano located in eastern Turkey near the borders of Armenia and Iran. The mountain is famous for its biblical association as the resting place of Noah's Ark. Its snowy summit and rugged terrain make it a prominent natural landmark and a symbol of regional significance. While its volcanic origins contributed to the area's fertility, the mountain's imposing stature and cultural history attract climbers, researchers, and tourists alike.
