Mount Little Ararat, Dormant volcano in eastern Turkey.
Little Ararat rises 3,896 meters above sea level, featuring multiple layers of volcanic materials and steep slopes near the Turkish-Iranian-Armenian border point.
The mountain experienced its most recent volcanic activity in 1840, causing significant regional disruption and leading to substantial population displacement in neighboring settlements.
The mountain forms part of the Ararat massif, connected to regional narratives and traditional stories passed through generations by local Turkish and Kurdish communities.
Climbing permits for Little Ararat must be obtained from authorities in Doğubayazıt, with summer months offering the most favorable conditions for ascent.
The stratovolcano contains numerous fumaroles that release volcanic gases and steam, indicating ongoing geological processes beneath its surface.
