Mount Erciyes, Stratovolcano in Kayseri Province, Turkey.
Mount Erciyes rises prominently to 3916 meters, featuring multiple volcanic vents, lava domes, and a single maar formation in central Anatolia.
The mountain's development began in the Miocene epoch, with its last recorded volcanic activity occurring around 6880 BCE, spreading ash across vast distances.
The name Erciyes originates from the Greek word Argaios, reflecting the mountain's white appearance and its significance in ancient Mediterranean civilizations.
The Erciyes Ski Resort operates at 2200 meters elevation with 18 lifts and 34 ski trails, offering winter sports activities from December through March.
The mountain's treeless slopes create wider ski trails and provide exceptional visibility for winter sports, distinguishing it from other mountainous resorts.
