Mount Tendürek, Shield volcano in eastern Türkiye
Mount Tendürek features two distinct craters, with the western peak reaching 3,533 meters and containing a trachytic spine at its eastern edge.
The volcano experienced its most recent eruption in 1855, marking the last recorded volcanic activity in Türkiye with a gas and ash discharge.
The medieval Armenian Tondrakians religious movement of the 950s derived its name from this mountain region near the Iranian border.
Access to Mount Tendürek requires travel through Ağrı Ahmed-i Hani Airport, followed by ground transportation to the Doğubayazıt district.
The volcanic structure contains a warm lake in its eastern crater, while its lava flows extend across 500 square kilometers of surrounding terrain.
