Glacier
The most important glaciers of Mt Damavand are:East and North East Face Glaciers
- In the massive Valley of Yakhar in the eastern side there is giant glacier called Yakhar Glaciers which is the most famous and the largest glacier of Damavand, it starts from about 3500 meters high to just below the summit, it has been climbed many times in summer but noon in the winter yet, this glacer is the main soure of Talkhrood River.
- Arosakha and Chalchal Glacier , are two other ones that can be mentioned in this side.
North Face Glaciers
There are two large glaciers in the north face called Sioleh and Dobi Sel , the north route ridge passes between these two glaciers , which cause this route to be colder than the other routes.
South Face Glacier
There is a small glacer in south face ot the mountain in Kafar Valley (Kafar Dareh), called South Glacier or Kafar Dareh Glacier. It is located between south route ridge and Mollakhoron Ridge, it passes by icefall .
West Face Glaciers
There are some small glaciers in the western part and also other parts of the which do not have a particular names.
Summit Glacier
This volcano has a small glacier in its summit crater. The summit glacier is frozen most of the time, only in a hot summer you may see a little water in the crater, this one sounds remarkably to a frozen Lake . The summit crater is about 150 m wide and 20 m deep. It appears that some of Damavand glacier cannot qualify as a true permanent glacier because they may disappears during a hot and dry summer.
