About Little Ararat

Little Ararat is a mountain. Location: Doğubayazıt District, Ağrı Province. Elevation: 3,925 m.

From Wikipedia

Little Ararat (Turkish: Küçük Ağrı; Armenian: Փոքր Արարատ, romanized: Pok'r Ararat; Kurdish: Agiriyê Biçûk) is the sixth-tallest peak and a stratovolcano in Turkey. It is a large satellite cone located on the eastern flank of the massive Mount Ararat, less than 5 mi (8.0 km) west of Turkey’s border with Iran. Despite being dwarfed by its higher and far more famous neighbor, Little Ararat is a significant volcano in its own right, with an almost perfectly symmetrical, conical form and smooth constructional slopes.
