Mount Samsari, Volcanic summit in Samtskhe-Javakheti, Georgia.
Mount Samsari rises to 3,285 meters above sea level, featuring a massive caldera with a diameter of three kilometers and a semicircular ridge formation.
The caldera of Mount Samsari formed approximately 200,000 years ago during the late Quaternary period through intense volcanic activity in the Lesser Caucasus region.
Georgian geologists and researchers regularly study Mount Samsari to understand the volcanic centers and geological evolution of the Southern Georgian Highland region.
The mountain slopes contain minimal vegetation, while the caldera floor includes small lakes, rock formations, and glacial deposits accessible through established hiking paths.
The internal structure of Mount Samsari contains specific volcanokarst formations, where soluble rocks have created distinct geological patterns within the caldera environment.
