Tskhouk-Karckar

The Tskhouk-Karckar volcano extends across the Armenian landscape with wide basalt lava flows that form its characteristic broad, dome-like structure at 2620 meters elevation.

Multiple eruptions throughout geological time periods deposited extensive lava flows, gradually building up the current formation of this Armenian-Azerbaijani border mountain.

Local Armenian communities regard this geological formation as a natural monument, incorporating its presence into regional traditions and geographical identity.

Access to the volcano requires proper hiking equipment and weather monitoring, with approach routes available through the roads of Syunik Province.

The volcano's position creates a natural border point between Armenia and Azerbaijan, featuring distinctive geological formations from repeated basaltic lava flows.
