Mount Ararat is a snow-capped, craterless, dormant volcano of lava flows that last erupted in 1840. It is the highest mountain in modern-day Turkey, and part of the Armenian Highlands mountain range. Ararat has two peaks, Greater Ararat, and Lesser Ararat or Little Ararat. On a peak in the mountains of Ararat is where the Bible says Noah's Ark landed as the flood waters receded (Genesis 8:4). And an old Armenian tradition corresponds with the biblical account.

The Bible says that Noah's ark landed on the mountains of Ararat.
