TAFTAN MOUNTAIN
Taftan volcano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Taftan

Type Stratovolcano
Last eruption Unknown


Taftan (in Persian: تفتان Taftân) is an eroded stratovolcano in southeastern Iran situated in the Sistan and Baluchestan province. At nearly 4,000 meters (13,000 ft) above sea level, it is the highest mountain in southeastern Iran. The nearest city is Khash. Taftan is a Persian word which means "The Place of Heat".

This is an inactive volcano, however sulphurous gases are emitted from fumaroles at its summit. The peak is usually ascended from west side where a well-equipped shelter has been built. There are very strong winds on this mountain. It is difficult to climb it during winters because of extreme cold and the winds which also cause the snow covering the peak to become frozen and very hard.
