Little Ararat, Mount Ararat

Little Ararat, also known as Mount Sis or Lesser Ararat, is the sixth tallest peak in Turkey. It is a large satellite cone located on the eastern flank of the massive Mount Ararat, less than 5 mi 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. Little Ararat rises about 1,296 m above the Serdarbulak lava plateau, which forms a saddle connecting it with the main peak. ()
