Mount Samsari, Volcanic summit in Samtskhe-Javakheti, Georgia.
Mount Samsari is a volcanic summit in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region that rises from a large circular depression created by ancient eruptions. The mountain displays bare rocky slopes that lead upward, and within the crater you can find small lakes and scattered rock formations.
The mountain formed around 200,000 years ago from intense volcanic activity in the Lesser Caucasus region. The remaining structure still shows clear traces of this ancient period and shapes the landscape of southern Georgia.
Georgian geologists and researchers regularly study Mount Samsari to understand the volcanic centers and geological evolution of the Southern Georgian Highland region.
The mountain is accessible via established hiking trails that lead to the crater floor with its rocks and water features. Visitors should know that higher elevations have little vegetation and weather can change quickly in this area.
Inside the crater are special rock formations created by the dissolving of minerals that show unique patterns. This rare volcanic structure makes the mountain an interesting subject for geology specialists.
