Mount Ararat.
The magnificent Mount Ararat (Ağrı, Masis, Chiyaye Agiri), consists of two volcanic cones, Greater Ararat and Little Ararat. The height of the first cone is more than 5000 m, and the second is about 4000 m, which is slightly less than the height of Mount Elbrus. Since 1921, after the Armenian-Turkish war and the signing of the Kars Peace Treaty, the mountain belongs to Turkey.
