Sabalan, Inactive stratovolcano in Ardabil Province, Iran
Mount Sabalan rises to 4,811 meters with three distinct peaks named Sultan, Heram, and Kasra, featuring a permanent crater lake at its summit.
The volcanic formation of Sabalan began during the Eocene period, with substantial eruptions continuing through the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs.
Local residents consider Mount Sabalan a sacred site connected to Zoroastrian traditions, with texts mentioning it as the place of Zoroaster's teachings.
The northeastern climbing route from Shabil Spa provides the most accessible path to the summit, with guided expeditions available from June through September.
Seven glaciers persist near the mountain peak above 4,000 meters, while numerous hot springs emerge from its lower slopes throughout the year.
