Mount Ağrı National Park, National park in Doğubayazıt, Turkey.
Mount Ağrı National Park contains Turkey's highest mountain peak, rising to 5,137 meters with permanent snow cover and multiple glacial formations at the summit.
The park's first documented ascent occurred in 1829 when German naturalist Friedrich Parrot and Armenian writer Khachatur Abovian reached the mountain peak.
The mountain holds significance in religious texts as the potential resting place where Noah's vessel landed following the great flood narrative.
Visitors must obtain special military permission through Turkish embassies and secure an authorized guide from the Turkish Federation for Alpinism before entering.
The national park contains the second largest meteor crater globally, measuring 60 meters deep with a 35-meter diameter near Doğubayazıt.
