Sahand, Summit in East Azerbaijan Province, Iran
Mount Sahand is a major mountain system in East Azerbaijan Province with a height of around 3,700 meters. Its range encompasses numerous peaks and valleys with varying landscapes.
The mountain system formed millions of years ago through volcanic activity and created a large stratified volcanic structure. This geological past shaped the mountain's lasting structure and form.
The mountain holds importance in Iranian military heritage, with several naval vessels of the Iranian fleet named after it. This connection shows how meaningful the location is to national pride and identity.
The mountain is popular for winter sports with skiing available on the northern slopes. The best time to visit is between February and April when snow conditions are favorable.
The mountain is home to diverse plant and animal life across its different elevations. This biological variety exists because of the changing climate zones found from base to summit.
