Mount Damavand
Mount Damāvand also known as Donbavand, is a
dormant volcano in
Iran. Located in the
middle Alborz Range, adjacent to Varārū, Sesang, Gol-e Zard and Mīānrūd, it is the highest point in both
Iran and the wider
Middle East. It is also the highest
volcano in all of
Asia. Though not volcanically active, there are fumaroles near the summit crater that deposit sulfur, which were most recently known to be active on July 6, 2007. The
mountain is located near the southern coast of the
Caspian Sea, in
Āmol county,
Māzandarān, 66 km (41 miles) northeast of
Tehran. Damavand is, as any cursory reading of
Persian literature will indicate, the
Mount Olympus of
Persian mythology. The best major settlement for mount climbers is new Iranian Mountain Federation Camp in village Polour, located at the south of the mountain.
