Mt Damavand Iran is a giant volcano located in the central Alborz Mountains on the southern coast of the Caspian Sea and surrounded by beautiful mountains, valleys and forests.
This silent dormant volcano is 5,671 m, 18,605 ft high; it is the highest summit in the Middle East and the second highest volcano in Asia and the Northern Hemisphere.
Snow covers the entire mountain in winter and the upper parts in other seasons. Its permanent snowy white peak with its regular clouds is the most beautiful sight of Iran.
At the height of 5400 meters there are some sulfuric rocks and gas making a little problem for mountaineers.

Damavand Volcano
Damawand is a perfect cone-shape volcano, its appearance looks like Fujiyama in Japan but it is much bigger. The summit has a crater about 150-200 meters across with yellow sulfurous rocks and pumice stones, the crater also contains a small pool.
It is not volcanically active and no eruption has been recorded in historical times so is believed to be silent, but it is not entirely an extinct volcanic cone.
There are dozens of hot springs on the lower slopes and hot sulfur gases (fumaroles) emerging near the crater. These thermal springs at the base and steam vents on the top indicate that a hot magma body is present beneath near the surface of the earth which indicates that this volcano is a little active and it is a dormant stratovolcano rather than being extinct.
Volcanic Activity

Since spring 2007, there has been some extraordinary activities such as significant emission of gas, steam, sulfurous materials and increase in hot spring temperature.
